The project will reconstruct Cottonwood Street, the primary roadway serving the Municipal Services Service Center and Little Mill Creek Park, with concrete pavement designed to support frequent heavy vehicle traffic. It will also add a new parking lot to accommodate Municipal Services staff as well as additional parking for the park, which is frequently full.
The reconstruction of Cottonwood Street with concrete pavement will enhance safety, durability, and long-term reliability for both municipal and park access. A new parking lot constructed on the south side of the Service Center will serve employees during the week and park users on weekends.
Additional improvements include upgraded lighting, stormwater management, new curbs, sidewalks and other safety features to meet City standards and improve overall functionality.
Design will occur this year, with construction anticipated to start in spring 2027.
