As many of you know, new turf is in the process of being installed at Lamport Stadium. The final stage is to paint on the lines, which will take place as soon as weather permits. The fence that runs along the south and north end of the stadium was also deteriorated and in need of replacement.
I have been working with our Parks Supervisor on this issue and I am proud to announce that the fencing replacement work at Lamport has started. The contractor will be removing the fence on the north and south side and will re-grade the area, install a temporary fence and prepare for the installation of new one. It is anticipated that this work may take as long as one month weather permitting.
The new fence will provide the opportunity for pedestrians to catch a glimpse of what is happening inside the stadium, but is designed in such a way as to not distract drivers on King Street.
I look forward to seeing improvement to Lamport.
