Site assessment continues, including a thorough health and hazard assessment of a mature stand of Oregon ash trees in the park. Bond measure funding will complete the park development and likely will go toward play field irrigation, new trees and other amenities such as park signage or benches. Construction complete Park construction is complete. Improvements include a new irrigation system, new surface drainage, a new play area and play equipment, new concrete paths, site furniture, and trees. Rough grading for the site has been performed and the site has been seeded to allow soils to stabilize over the winter.
Construction is scheduled to resume in early spring.
An illustrated plan of proposed improvements was reviewed by meeting attendees, and additional suggestions were recorded. The proposed plans are currently being reviewed by staff and final park improvement recommendations will be presented to the neighborhood in March. Pre-construction Public involvement and planning have been completed on this park, and a conditional use permit was obtained late last year. The construction documents currently are being prepared in conjunction with a stormwater improvement project, and the project is anticipated to go to bid early in the 2001 construction season. Planning The City has hired a consultant to provide a wetland delineation for the 12-acre park site on the north side of Royal Avenue.
