Project Description
Phase 1
The project will replace the existing timber retaining walls, wood stairs, and wooden light poles/standards that have all reached the end of their usefulness. The project requires some paving repair and removal of a few trees that are either hazardous or need to be removed to accommodate the wall replacement.
Phase 2
Wood stairs will be replaced with new concrete steps with steel stringer staircases connecting landing down to Mayfair Ave. This phase is currently unfunded.
