Park Construction Delay

Have you walked by the new park lately?  If so, you’ve probably noticed the construction has slowed to a crawl.  Wondering what was the reason for the delay, I called City of Westminster  Landscape Architect Becky Eades.  She apologized and said she’s as frustrated as we are.  Unfortunately, the contractor had a flatbed trailer full of supplies and tools and it was stolen off the site a few weeks ago.  She said that while she’s been frustrated at the delay, she had to be a little  sympathetic for an independent contractor who finds himself in a sticky situation.  Becky asked us to be patient and assured me that we’ll start seeing progress soon. The delay will likely cause the City to abandon plans to sod the fields this winter, which will give the whole project an unfinished look until Spring.  Once the play equipment is installed, residents will be welcome to use it.  However, Becky asked me to “Request that residents refrain from using the play equipment until it is fully installed.  I realize it might be tempting for kids to want to play on the climbing  wall, but there are sharp edges and gaps that have yet to be sealed.  For safety sake, please use another park until the construction project is completed.”

Rules and Regs Committee

The  Rules and Regs subcommittee will meet again in May to "fine tune"  the new Rules and Regulations that the Brittany Place will implement this year.
