Remainder of Danneel Park lead remediation to be combined with upcoming renovations
|
While part of the popular Danneel Park on St. Charles Avenue has reopened after lead remediation, another portion remains closed as the city finishes plans to combine the remaining lead treatments with a renovation of the playground equipment. Via an email distributed to the neighborhood:
The lead remediation was completed in a portion of the park, allowing the city to re-open the age 5-12 newer play equipment in the back portion of the play space a few weeks ago. The front toddler portion remains closed until further notice as Friends of Danneel Committee works through an agreement with the city agencies to renovate the front portion as was planned in 2010 as Phase 2 of the park’s renovation. When the lead issue came to light, it became clear that it was best to coordinate the the removal of lead and the pouring of the new slabs for the renovation in order to save money and more efficiently achieve the goals for the playground.
