In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a collaborative effort with the city to address erosion issues behind the German school. The project, deemed complex due to the need for multiple agency approvals, emphasizes the importance of cooperation between the city and the district, particularly regarding the necessary permitting processes.
Trustee Berman raised concerns about community communication, specifically regarding how residents might be informed about potential impacts, such as noise from construction. In response, officials indicated that outreach efforts would likely include social media announcements and postcards to keep neighbors informed as the project progresses.
Trustee Blakely expressed apprehension about the project's timeline, which is currently scheduled for construction from June to October 2026. Highlighting the potential risks posed by upcoming rainy seasons, she inquired about the possibility of implementing temporary measures to mitigate erosion in the interim. Officials acknowledged the concern but did not provide specific details on any proactive steps that could be taken before the construction begins.
The discussions underscore the community's need for timely information and proactive measures as the project moves forward.
