Road and Park Construction Season Winding Down Grass Valley
Road and Park Construction Season Winding Down Grass Valley
Grass Valley’s Measure E-funded construction season is wrapping up with the completion of a new bicycle pump track, key infrastructure upgrades, and historical site improvements across the city.
The construction season is winding down, as the rainy season approaches. And at Tuesday night’s Grass Valley City Council meeting, City Engineer Bjorn Jones said several projects are nearing completion, hopefully, over the next couple of weeks, weather permitting. And a lot of the work was funded by the Measure E sales tax increase. That includes the city’s newest park. That’s Centreville Park, near Centerville and Idaho-Maryland Roads. The most prominent feature is a bicycle pump track…
Jones also mentions that vegetation clearing work along a nearby creek uncovered a good portion of the old Narrow Gauge Railroad abutment. A viewing area will also be constructed there. And it’s also hoped that repaving of Idaho Maryland Road in that area will begin soon. Right now, a sidewalk extension is being constructed…
And Jones also noted that a lot of drivers are happy to know that the Hughes Road repaving project has been completed. And also worth noting is the long-sought completion of the sewer lift station upgrade at Slate Creek.
