The pedestrian crossing lights are working on Level Creek Road. Timber bollards have been installed along the drive and an observation deck will be installed near the entrance to the mine.
Ridge Lake Park. The construction has begun for the new park that will be on the 22 acres the city owns off Highway 20. Consisting of a parking area, rest room building with covered seating area, a dog park, pond improvements and trails; it will be the newest place to relax and unwind. Groundbreaking was held on November 29th. Many of the amenities in the park were suggested by the public during open houses that we held in 2017 and 2018.
Gary Pirkle Park Restroom Building. Design stage is complete and the project advertised for bid to complete construction on a restroom building to serve the new fields on the South side of the park. They will incorporate 7 unisex stalls and a water bottle filling station.
