Fire station planning continues

City staff and a consulting team of KKE Architects, Bonestroo Engineers and SRF Landscape Architects continue design and engineering work for two new and expanded fire stations to replace the two existing fire stations. Both stations will be rebuilt in about the same locations, with the construction of the first station expected to commence in 2011.

The project team has been meeting with neighbors and business owners for several months and has presented preliminary design concepts to the City Council.

Both of the current fire stations were constructed in the 1960s. The buildings do not meet accessibility rules for public buildings and they do not accommodate the current multi-gender Fire Department staffing. Other concerns relate to deteriorating structural elements, the aging mechanical systems, limited ventilation, lack of apparatus storage space, and insufficient meeting space to host all firefighters simultaneously for meetings and training.
