RAPID CITY, S.D. The Rapid City Council is set to initiate the process to provide accessibility improvements to one of Rapid City’s most iconic locations.
On Monday night, the Council will consider a proposal authorizing hiring a consultant for design and construction documents for upgrading pedestrian routes, constructing safety features, and installing new and upgraded visitor amenities to Dinosaur Park.
The improvements were presented to the City’s Vision Committee in 2018 and were part of the package of items brought forward to the City Council and approved in early 2019 for Vision Fund allocations. The projected $2.5 million project was approved for $1.6 million from the Vision Fund and would be combined with $900,000 from the Rapid City Parks and Recreation Department’s Capital Improvements Project (CIP) Fund.
