Waterfront cost reductions identified

About 1 million dollars worth of savings for Prince Arthur's Landing are being presented to city councillors tonight.   It comes after the low bid for the contract  that came in close to 2 million dollars over the 12 and 3 quarter million that was budgeted for.  The savings that officials have come up with include:
-Not building a Park Maintenance Building
-Eliminating the bird control system
-Reducing the capacity of the ice plant
-Changes to materials on the festival storage building
-Modifications to pond decking and
-Reduced lighting over the ice rink and the splash pad.
