Parks committee previews Whites Road Pool opening and Liberty Bell Trail Phase 3
Summary
Parks & Rec reported a proposed auto-renew edit to the ice cream lease at Whites Road Pool, updates on e-bike/scooter safety education, and an anticipated notice-to-proceed for Liberty Bell Trail Phase 3 around July 6 with a possible groundbreaking.
Parks & Recreation told the council it forwarded a motion to full council to update the Little's ice cream lease at Whites Road Pool to auto-renew annually unless canceled; that motion will appear on a future agenda. Committee members also discussed ebike and scooter rules and potential educational outreach for park users.
Whites Road Pool is close to completion; tiling was recently done and a ribbon-cutting is expected once final inspections are complete but no opening date was set. Parks also reported an anticipated notice-to-proceed for Liberty Bell Trail Phase 3 around July 6 and that a preconstruction meeting and potential groundbreaking are being coordinated with the bike coalition.
Parks said an ADA-access improvement project for the Moores Road Challenger field is being developed by the volunteer Cannonneers with fundraising and in-kind work planned.
Next steps: the pool opening date and ribbon-cutting timeline will be set once inspections conclude; Liberty Bell Trail construction steps will proceed after the July notice-to-proceed.
