The city of Moscow is pursuing plans to work with the University of Idaho’s American Institute of Architecture Students Chapter to design a park project surrounding the Heron’s Hideout — a viewing platform that overlooks Paradise Creek.
He said UI’s American Institute of Architecture Students chapter wants to work with the city to design a park project surrounding the Heron’s Hideout — a viewing platform that overlooks Paradise Creek. The class wants to look at different types of shelters that would extend from the already existing deck
Curtis said the platform is scheduled to be refurbished in summer 2013, and the project has a budget of $4,000. Adding a shelter aspect to the deck is estimated to cost an additional $15,000.
WSU Student Engineers Without Borders wants to design and build a project on Paradise Path called Blackbird Crossing, Tom Grundin, City of Moscow Parks and Facilities Manager, said.
Grundin said a similar project was considered in 2008, but due to budget constraints the project has not gone any further.
The City Council approved both of these pursuing projects at the City Council meeting on Nov. 5.
