Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Linden Park Project Update pk2305)
Since the project was last presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission in June, construction has progressed smoothly and remains on schedule.
Following the closure and re-routing of Pine Avenue, the contractor completed demolition of approximately 100 feet of roadway to prepare the area for construction of the future park plaza. Crews also installed underground stormwater and sewer infrastructure, including stormwater facilities beneath the future play area and a sewer line to accommodate a potential future restroom.
The next phase of work will focus on installing a new underground water service line across Linden Avenue. The line will connect to the existing water main near 703 Linden Avenue and provide water service to the future park. This work is scheduled for October 26 through November 20, 2026, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. During construction, one lane at the intersection of Linden Avenue and Pine Avenue will be closed. Flaggers and other traffic control measures will be used to direct vehicles safely through the work area. Water service to nearby properties is not expected to be interrupted.
Over the coming months, construction will also include installation of foundations for the playground structure, light poles, outdoor fitness equipment, and public art.
