Why is this project being done?

• Gallup Park Road south of the bridge needs urgent repair to maintain safe and functional use.
• Completing these repairs now would provide an improved driving surface and extend the useful life of the road for several years.
• This would allow time to plan and budget for a more comprehensive repaving project in the future, while also limiting further deterioration of the road, which could cause a future repaving project to be more expensive and extensive.
• Portions of the Gallup Park Pathway around the Youth Fishing Pond are also in need of total replacement.

Work to be done

• Isolated pavement repairs will be completed on Gallup Park Road south of the bridge.
• Portions of the Gallup Park Pathway around the Youth Fishing Pond will be replaced.

Cost and funding source

• Preliminary estimates anticipate a total project budget of about $230,000.
• The funding source is the Park Maintenance and Capital Improvement Millage Fund.

• Work on the Pathway and the Road will be staggered, with the Pathway replacement occurring first and then the Road repairs being completed next.
• The following portions of the Gallup Park Pathway will be closed during the work: from the Maas Shelter through the portion of the Pathway east of the Youth Fishing Pond, including the access to the Pathway bridge north of the Pond.
• When the Gallup Park Pathway is being replaced, the Maas and Fast shelters will be closed on weekdays and not available for reservation. During this time, Gallup Park Road will be completely accessible, as well as both parking lots south of Gallup Park bridge, and the playground.
• Once Pathway work is completed, then repairs on Gallup Park Road will be done. During this time, sporadic closures of the Road will be required. These closures may result in the closure of one or both parking lots south of the Gallup Park Road bridge and would lead to the Youth Fishing Pond and nearby amenities being inaccessible from the road. The Pond and its amenities would still be accessible via the Pathway bridge north of the Pond and the B2B Trail.
• The B2B Trail will remain open at all times during the work on the Gallup Park Pathway and Gallup Park Road
