Walking track, parking-lot work delayed; district restricts public access until late August
Summary
District staff described extended milling and reconstruction work at the high school track and parking lots, said public access to the walking track will be restricted until at least Aug. 25, and asked the community for patience while heavier reconstruction continues.
District staff reported extensive construction and remediation work at the high school walking track and adjacent parking lots and recommended restricting public access until at least Aug. 25, with a posted notice and parent communication in place.
The district's facilities staff explained that milling was completed the week of July 14, but subsequent inspection found areas that required deeper removal and replacement down to the subbase and that the work expanded to include binder courses in the high school parking lots. "They looked at it to say, okay, how are we gonna do this in a way that will last and so that we're not just needing to do this again," a facilities staff member said.
Why it matters: The walking track and high school parking lots are heavily used by students and the public; schedule changes and restricted access affect families and community users. The district posted notices to parents and on its website and said it will update the timeline if conditions change.
Details and timeline - Restriction and notice: The district said it recommended restricting public access to the walking track until at least Aug. 25 and has posted notice to parents and on the website; the posted date for general availability is Aug. 27 (staff said it may change if work completes earlier). - Scope of work: Milling completed mid-July; additional sections required full-depth replacement to the subbase and binder course work in the parking lots before top course installation, which extended the timeline. - On-site conditions: Staff described heavy equipment on site and additional reconstruction beyond initial expectations; work sequencing and the concentration of equipment affected which areas could be finished sooner.
Communication request Board members asked staff to focus on clearer public communications about access and timing rather than the duration of work itself. Facilities staff said weekly meetings with project leads continue and the district will update web postings and parent notices as dates firm up.
