Trustee flags need for Iowa Avenue repairs and park barrier as Cleveland Street project nears
Summary
Trustee Dan Nelson reported needed repairs on Iowa Avenue where water-line patches act as hazards for snow plows, and discussed adding a barrier at War Memorial Park to stop children from running into Cleveland Street; the Cleveland Street STU project is slated to begin next week with tar-and-chip in mid-July.
Trustee Dan Nelson told the board that water-line patchwork on Iowa Avenue near Locust has created uneven surfaces he called "speed bumps" that could damage snow-plow operations, and he urged the board to prioritize repairs.
Nelson also reported on Kennedy Park baseball-field cleanup and volunteer improvements at the concession stand. Separately, the board discussed park safety at War Memorial Park, including the potential installation of a barrier or fencing to prevent children from running into Cleveland Street from the ball field.
Engineer Adam Ossola provided a project timeline for Cleveland Street: the STU work on curbs and storm sewers is slated to begin next week, with tar-and-chip surface work expected in mid-July. Ossola advised residents not to move J.U.L.I.E. utility-marking flags and to cut grass around them.
