September was a busy month with many projects and events being planned and implemented.
City Council approved the final site location of the new Aquatic Facility for the City of St. Robert. Based on the evaluation of site engineering evaluations, the St. Robert Park Committee recommended to the City Council that the new facility be located on the undeveloped tract adjacent to the playground in the Municipal Park.
The Marines from the Marine Corps Detachment, Engineer Equipment Instruction Company constructed a 24 foot all-weather pedestrian bridge and installed 960 feet of walking trail timber border in Bosa Heights Park on Sept. 25. I would like to thank the commanding officer of the Marine Corps Detachment and the Marines of Engineer Equipment Instruction Company for their volunteerism and community mindedness in helping to make this neighborhood park an enjoyable place for the residents and the children.
The street improvements of Peggy Avenue and Jeffery Avenue in the Paddock Estates Subdivision have begun with the staking of the street right-of-ways. Actual work is projected to commence in mid-October with the installation of a storm water inlet box, milling and removal of the existing asphalt surface, and the construction of 1,145 feet of a new two-inch asphalt overlay.
