Polis’ office announced the project – but no price tag – on Friday. State officials outlined two phases of the project, with the first connecting the Capitol to Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park starting and finishing construction in 2026. It’s not clear when construction on the second walkway and bridge between the Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park and Civic Center Park will start. The state is paying $1.5 million for the concept, design, engagement and construction bidding process, with the rest of the project funded by “a combination of public and private donations,” according to the news release. A capital fundraising campaign is set to begin immediately, according to the timeline released by Polis’ office, but no other details about the campaign were provided in the release.
