Project purpose

The 750-ton salt structure at Freedom Fields is currently used by crews to reload trucks during winter events. Replacing the structure with a larger one will improve efficiency and response to these neighborhoods. As the community continues to grow, relying on a single fueling station has become inefficient for refueling City vehicles and equipment.

An additional fueling station will reduce staff travel time and overall fuel consumption.


Project description

The old salt structure will be replaced with a new 2,000-ton fabric structure, enhanced calcium chloride tanks, and a new fueling station. The fueling station will have a rain canopy with self-contained double lined above ground tanks. New pavement will be placed, and the site will be fenced with access control capabilities. In addition, heavy landscaping will be placed around the site for additional screening from neighboring properties.


Current status

February 2026: Fueling station should be completed this spring.
