Family Gathering Place Renovation begins today
After 34 years of service, the area is being improved to remove deteriorating wood timbers and improve safety and accessibility. Renovation of the area will include adding an ADA-access ramp, replacing surface material, and replacing wood timbers with new, untreated, Ipe hardwood timbers. The existing bridge that was replaced recently will remain.
The renovation process is expected to take approximately 6 to10 weeks (depending upon weather) and has a budget of $150,000 (from the Parks and Recreation Department’s Capital Improvement Project fund).
Access to the area will be restricted throughout construction using perimeter safety fencing. Additional safety measures will be employed as needed when construction equipment is operating in the area.
Every effort will be made to minimize the impact to area businesses and visitors. This work should not require closure of any businesses.
