Construction is expected to last three months, during which the park and parking lot will remain open during regular park hours. However, visitors may experience minor inconveniences around the construction zone (located between the parking lot and the bluff top), the city report.
The western portion of the existing gravel parking lot will be closed to accommodate the construction staging area.
