Davey Glen Park Project Moving Along

The Belmont Parks and Recreation Commission will discuss the progress of the Davey Glen Project at its next meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 2. 

In January city staff presented the park redesign to the Belmont City Council for approval. Since then, the staff has worked to prepare the necessary contracts to complete the construction documents for the park, which is located on Davey Glen Road in the Central neighborhood. 

According to Belmont City Manager Greg Scoles's Weekly Update newsletter, the staff report that discusses progress on the construction documents (55 percent complete), schedule, and budget. An email was sent to interested neighbors about the meeting and notice was posted on the signboard located at the site. The Parks and Recreation Department is hoping to start construction in summer 2014. For the full staff report on the Davey Glen Park Project, including a timeline, click here.

On Friday, a geotechnical sampling was conducted in support of the Davey Glen Park Project. The geotechnical engineers collected samples of the soil to evaluate the amount of fill at the site and help determine if measures are needed when building the park. The results will be sent to the Parks and Recreation Department in October.
