Project Information

Background

This project will repair approximately 150’ of eroding riprap shoreline at Giddings Park.  The proposed design will use existing, salvageable glacial stone and imported stone to rebuild the riprap protection along the park shoreline. Please see the Engineering Division's project page for additional information: https://www.cityofmadison.com/engineering/projects/giddings-park-shoreline-riprap-repair

Limited vegetation removals are expected with this work, including (3) trees. 

The large, fallen willow tree near the eastern side of the park at the Giddings Park shoreline is not within the construction limits of this project, and will not be removed. Below are plans showing construction limits and images of the three trees to be removed.
