Staff member outlines A Street Park stormwater and park upgrades; mayor invites TA Edison students to observe sidewalk work

This is actually part of a much larger project, a presenter said, describing the A Street Park stormwater and parks improvements effort that also covers Northropark and Spill Log Park and will combine stormwater infrastructure with park amenities as well as traffic and sanitary sewer work.

The presenter said the work “encompasses both all A Street Park, all the crews we're doing there, and, the, the improvements we're doing at Northropark, and also the cruises we will be doing at, Spill Log Park.” The project was described as layered work that pairs stormwater projects with added park features.

A staff member said the mayor had received a letter from a student at TA Edison asking for more sidewalk area and that the mayor invited the whole class to observe a sidewalk installation tied to recent intersection rework. The staff member said, “The mayor received a a letter from a, young individual at TA Edison, asking to, see some more sidewalk building area.”

Staff described there being one small portion of sidewalk left for the new parking lot created as part of the intersection rework and framed the school visit as an educational opportunity: “we had 1 little portion left of sidewalk decor here, for the new parking lot, that we've created as part of the, rework of the intersection,” the staff member said, adding that the visit would teach students about sidewalk installation and safety.

The staff member thanked the contractor and partner agencies for hosting and coordinating the outreach. “We'd like to first off, thank our contractor r and r concrete for, hosting us today and and scheduling this for and working with us on that. Like to thank the mayor's office, for working with us to get these kids out here to do some education,” the staff member said, and noted collaboration with the parks department and environmental services.
