The second phase includes 16 th Street from Avenue Q to Normal Park, the widening renovations to the existing Collard Street from FM 1374 to the new construction of a 32 feet curb and gutter street extension out to Interstate 45 West Feeder Road that is nearing completion, and the proposed rerouting of West Cline from FM 1374 to Lake Road. The parks and recreation division was involved in several projects during the past fiscal years. The FY 1999-00 budget included the category IV priority of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to consolidate play areas at Kate Barr Ross Park. The package included the play structure, perimeter border, and fall zone materials. There was also light work done at the softball fields at Kate Barr Ross Park and Thomas Henry Ball Park.
Quality of life is important to individuals.
Our City has made a commitment to invest significantly in parks, recreational, and cultural services. The citizens of Huntsville will enjoy activities that will renew them both physically and emotionally. The new renovations and enhancements will provide a setting for ethnic and cultural diversity, and opportunities for socialization. The City crews were to construct the required parking, but the topography made it difficult to construct the handicap spaces on the east side of the building. Acquisition of two adjacent lots will complete the park area, plus provide for parking on grade with the Neighborhood Center.
