Thanks to voter-approved funding in the 2020 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Sales Tax Election, new parking lots are on tap for the Lee Lake Complex, Civil Project Engineer Shelley Charles said this week.
The City Council on Monday approved a contract with CEC Corporation for engineering services on the project, which will consist of constructing new parking lots at Lee Lake and Cooper Dog Park, both of which are located in the Lee Lake Complex, 2200 S.E. Adams Blvd.
“The new asphalt lots will replace the existing gravel lots at Lee Lake and Cooper Dog Park, and a new road will be installed connecting the new parking areas with Daniels Fields parking to the west,” Charles said. “The project also involves removing the westernmost and easternmost drive approaches onto Adams Boulevard and constructing a new 75 x 120 yard soccer field south of the lake, along the east side of the existing fields.”
The total cost of CEC’s proposed contract is $23,600. The project will likely be let for bids this summer, with construction anticipated to start late summer or early fall.
