We are happy to report that the Chandler bikeway has moved a big step closer to completion. At a board meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency on September 15, 2005, funds of up to $894, 488 were approved for completion of the project, which now incorporates concrete surfacing at the request of our community as well as construction of an accompanying botanical garden and irrigation system.
The City Council must now review and approve the CRA's amended plans and funding request.
Neighbor Paul Kersh has been in contact with the CRA and reports that both phases of the project are expected to be completed concurrently, most likely in early FY06. Petar Blanusa, the CRA's construction specialist on the project, will be attending our upcoming meeting on September 21 and will be available to answer questions about this long anticipated improvement to our community.
