FROM: Aaron Perri, Executive Director Venues Parks & Arts
SUBJECT: LaSalle Park Improvements
Funding Source* (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General
*Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller,
then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
Purpose of Request:
Over the past several years, there has been a significant amount of work to remediate the soil at LaSalle
Park of various underground contaminants. This work, while it posed no immediate health risks to park
users or nearby residents, was done in coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency and
Honeywell Corporation. Now that the remediation is complete, a community-informed design is ready to
be constructed at LaSalle Park. This effort was led by Troyer Group and includes a new outdoor restroom
building, new basketball courts, a new pavilion, a roller skating loop, and some enhanced circulation.
The project work has a current construction estimate of $1.33M of which near approximately $456,000 is
already funded through the Venues Parks & Arts Department. To make this project a reality for the
community, an $874,571 request is being sought from the River West TIF.
