 Tell Us More – New Survey Launches for the Multi-Use Community Center at Central Park
A new survey has launched for the Central Park Community Center project. The survey focuses on preferences on exterior materials and interior design inspiration. Over 900 responses were received for the first survey, which covered programs, services and exterior design inspiration. Help shape the vision of the new multi-use community center by completing this new survey and/or attending an upcoming Recreation Commission meeting. The next Recreation Commission Meeting is on April 17 at 7:00 pm at City Hall, 3300 Capitol Ave., Building A and will include a presentation on the community’s input from the initial survey, the project’s preliminary design, and next steps. It will also include the chance to answer survey questions in-person.
 Construction Impacts to Traffic in Fremont/Grimmer Area
Construction to modernize traffic signals at two intersections in Irvington (Fremont Blvd./Grimmer Blvd. and Fremont Blvd./Eugene St.) is nearing completion. A traffic signal switchover is scheduled for the greater part of Saturday, April 20 starting at 7:00 am. During that time, intersection traffic signals will be turned off and intersections will be controlled by stop signs. Some turning restrictions and detours may be in place to minimize delays for through-traffic on Fremont Boulevard. If possible, please avoid driving through the intersections on the day of the switchover to avoid these delays. Thank you for your patience while the City works to improve these intersections.
