Ackerman Parking Lot – Construction Update (October 14, 2024)

Posted on: October 14, 2024

Construction on the perimeter ‘ring road’ parking lot at Ackerman Park is underway. This important project aims to enhance the parking lot by improving the surfacing, widening the aisles and stalls, and increasing accessibility for all visitors. The current asphalt is original and has surpassed its useful life.

Construction is expected to last until Thanksgiving, during which time parts of the lot will be closed. Temporary parking and alternate routes will be provided to ensure a smooth experience for all users. Please plan ahead and follow posted signs for detours and access. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we undertake these vital improvements.

Work Anticipated This Week (October 14-20):

  • Installation of concrete sidewalks and curbs.
  • The east parking lot, labeled ‘A’, will be widened this week. Please bypass this area as indicated on the map below from October 15-18. Excavation and paving of this lot will be complete by Friday.

Work Anticipated for Next Week (October 21-27):

  • Continued parking lot demolition.
  • Modifications to east landscape swales.
