THat’s great, and I’m excited to see it.
I wonder if there is really no way to open at least a one-lane path from the back the park. THere’s a whole neighborhood back there that would like to walk to the pool and to school for the days that remain. Maybe this is a good opportunity to try the City’s web-based Q&A system.
Judd, I checked with Hugh Saxon on the details of the project. Unfortunately, it is not feasible or safe to open a path during construction. The existing path that went from Glendale Avenue to the park has been demolished and will be replaced. There is heavy equipment at work in the area and there will be a large underground drainaige system installed in the driveway area beside the tennis courts. I know it is very inconvenient for the Glendale neighborhood during the construction and we appreciate your patience. We want to keep you safe and get the project completed as soon as possible.
Understood. Thanks for checking, Linda. (I did submit the question at the City site — and the Q&A system is very easy to use, as advertised.)
