Mount Pearl city council is using the opportunity of construction that was already underway at St. David’s Park to make it more accessible for the mobility-impaired.
The change order to add the work boosts the construction bill by some $5,735.
“We looked at three different options,” Stoyles explained. “Basically, it’ll make it accessible so that when people are in the park, they won’t have to go across a parking lot or anything like that. We decided to take a look at this, and add some extra to it.”
Deputy Mayor Jim Locke said the amendments will serve as a solid enhancement to the area, turning it into even more of a green space with a natural flow of traffic, also allowing for blue zone parking adjacent to the Royal Canadian Legion building in that area.
“For all these reasons, council supported this,” Locke said.
The motion for the changes carried unanimously.
