The new parking lot pad for the school buses was poured and sealed last week. This week's weather does not look encouraging for additional work on the site. We need to complete the electrical work, install the fencing, gates and light to complete this part of the project. We hope to have this done by the end of the month. There remains some additional excavation work to be done also. It now appears that the final grading and planting of the vegetation in the water detention pond and around the bus pen may be delayed until spring due to the end of the planting season. The completion of the Lakeview parking lot resurfacing and driveway repairs will be pushed back to next summer because of the poor working conditions brought on by the coming of the winter season. Having the new parking area for the school buses will enhance operations for the winter until the rest of the project can be completed.
