The City's Capital Projects Division is in the early stages of planning repairs to the retaining wall along the Puritan Road-side of Grimmons Park.
Beginning this September or soon after, City contractors will evaluate the wall in order to inform a plan to repair any areas in need of restoration. As plans develop we'll use this page to keep the neighborhood informed about the project and construction activities.
Anticipated Work Schedule:
Evaluation and planning work is expected to begin in September or soon after. As plans develop more information about the timeline and scope of this rehabilitation work will be shared on this page.
Work hours are weekdays approximately 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Potential Parking Restrictions:
During certain phases of the project, there may be associated parking restrictions. Please observe posted signage. Notification of any parking restrictions will be posted no less than 48 hours in advance.
