Surfacing work set to start Sept. 3 at Mac Porter; city to reuse material at Jesse James Park
Summary
The Parks and Tree Board said surfacing at Mac Porter Park will start the week of Sept. 3; Lions Park mulch will be reused where possible at Jesse James Park and concrete borders will be installed to improve accessibility.
The board announced a tentative start date of Sept. 3 for surfacing work at Mac Porter Park and said crews will then move on to Jesse James. "The latest we've heard is they will be there on September 3 to start," the Chair said, describing an initial setup day for fencing and staging.
Staff said reusable playground material taken from Lions Park will be transported to Jesse James when appropriate; material that is degraded down to soil will be taken to the compost site. The board emphasized accessibility improvements — concrete borders will replace current timber borders to create a level walking surface for visitors with mobility needs.
