PLANNING PHASE
Langdon Shoreline Protection and Beach Access Project
At their October 9 Regular Meeting, the Board approved a contract from SmithGroup to complete work on the chosen access path* and shoreline protection work at Langdon Beach. This contract covers detailed engineering drawings; acquisition of all necessary permits; documents needed to seek bids for construction; and landscaping of all ground impacted during construction. All areas not landscaped by SmithGroup will be designed and planted by the Park District. A landscape plan for the entire park is scheduled for completion by March 2024 to align with SmithGroups’s plan.
The current path to the beach has been approved by the Village of Wilmette to remain through August 2024. Construction for the permanent path and shoreline protection work is planned to begin in September 2024.
