Engineer recommends paving park lot and grading to reduce gravel runoff
Summary
Engineer Joey Whitehouse recommended removing and compacting gravel in the park main parking lot, adding 3 inches of asphalt to direct stormwater toward the pond, and assessing whether adjacent gravel should remain grass or be paved based on parking needs.
Engineer Joey Whitehouse presented a concept to reduce gravel runoff from the park parking lot east of the pond, recommending removal and compaction of existing gravel in the main lot and placement of 3 inches of asphalt to direct stormwater toward the pond. Whitehouse said the gravel area west of the main lot adjacent to the pond road could be returned to grass to reduce costs unless additional parking is required; he suggested obtaining contractor quotes and avoiding storm sewer work to save money. He also noted the Jones Street park entrance needs grading to improve drainage.
Council Member Jordan Van Ness and staff discussed parking needs and grading; no funding decision or contract award was made at the meeting. Staff were asked to seek quotes from contractors and return cost estimates.
