Alvernon Park Improvements
4/15/24 Visible steps toward park construction were noted today: The long standing westside fence was removed today, a sign is now up in the park announcing the beginning of activities and utilities have been marked. Greg Jackson: “The contractor should be installing fencing today and construction activities [should begin] this week.”
4/12/24 Matthew Lutheran: “After meeting with our team this week we now have a schedule for the Pima County portion of the project (west side). Our portion of the project is scheduled to begin on Monday May 6th, and will continue through the end of June. The construction portion of our work will be complete by June 30th, and landscape establishment will end 6 months after construction is complete. We look forward to getting construction under way.”
1/10/24 Tucson Parks & Recreation Deputy Director Greg Jackson reported: All plan reviews are done and permits are being obtained. Pima County Flood Control will do water basins and path on the west side, as shown circled in red on the attached diagram, as the first task. It is expected that 30 days will be needed for bids and contract with construction to start in March 2024. The County work should take 60-90 days to complete. City Parks & Rec will install the east side path and whatever is needed for the rest of the walking path and landscaping once the County’s portion is done. A June 30, 2024 completion date is set as the target for all work.
