City Beach Improvements
In its current condition, access to the City Beach Lift Station is difficult at best:
- In order to remove a pump from the lift station to perform routine pump maintenance, heavy equipment must be hauled down the dirt path
- If the pump requires off-site service, a dolly must be used to maneuver the pump back up the hill to a service truck
- When the station requires pumping, sections of heavy 6 inch vacuum hose must be laid out down the path, and subsequently removed
Proposed Project
The proposed project will improve access to the station by constructing a small utility drive, allowing service vehicles to access the station directly from Skyles Avenue. This will enable the operators to use truck mounted equipment to remove pumps and place them directly into the truck for maintenance. It will also enable us to use the vactor to directly evacuate the wet well of the station, should it require pumping.
Project Timeline & Completion
- The project is scheduled for completion by June 14, 2019
- Project was completed in July of 2019
In an effort to increase parking for City Beach patrons, the City purchased the lot at 55 Woodland in 2015. The design team looked at several concepts for the lot at 55 Woodland Place. The approved alternative will create 24 additional parking along Woodland Place Drive and create a non-motorized watercraft staging area using the vacant lot.
Project Timeline & Schedules
The project will be completed by June 14, 2019 and includes the following work:
- Schedule 1: this schedule involves the reconstruction of Woodland Place between Oregon Avenue and the Alley, as well as the landscaping improvements on the vacant lot, producing 18 new parking spaces. The work includes:
- Pavement
- Curb and gutter
- Sidewalk
- Retaining wall
- Landscaping (trees, shrubs, grasses), and drought tolerant lawn to serve as a non-motorized watercraft staging area
- Schedule 2: this schedule involves the reconstruction of Woodland Place between Washington Avenue and the Alley, producing 6 new parking spaces. This schedule includes:
- Pavement
- Curb and gutter
- Sidewalk
- Retaining wall
- Schedule 3: this schedule involves the extension of the shared use path along Oregon Avenue to serve as a connection from the Skye Park Bridge to City Beach.
