December 7, 2023 – Sulphur Springs’ City Manager Marc Maxwell presented his report to the Sulphur Springs City Council this week, as the Pacific Park Project gets even closer to completion. The Parks and Recreation department has finished their work on the irrigation system at Pacific Park, as well as planting rye grass to get the park through the winter. Bermuda sod is currently being laid out in the park as that work should wrap up by the end of December. One small pavillion remains to be built in the park area, but that project should be completed later in 2024.
The Sulphur Springs Capital Construction Crew has been busy as they have wrapped all of the work they can do on the College Street Project and moved their attention to League Street. 5W Contracting continues their work on the College Street Project pouring concrete and excavating curb & gutter to be replaced. At the current work rate, the College Street Project could finish by June 2024.
LEAGUE STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS – The drainage project at the KCS railroad was authorized for $265,000 at the August 15th City Council meeting. This project began Monday, December 4th. Expect it to last 4-6 weeks. When completed, it should resolve the flooding problems at Main & League.
City crews remained busy over the last month, as Marc Maxwell’s full report indicates below:
