Why is the Town Park wall being replaced and how long will construction continue?
Stone wall maintenance and sidewalk construction on the Northrup St. side of Town Park will continue through July. Every effort is being made to insure the safety of all youngsters during this time. Stone wall work was an unexpected project necessitated by the installation of concrete sidewalks along this side of the Park. The old stone wall, which was built from stones excavated during the creation of the Town Park site around 1900, is being reconstructed in phases over the next few years. The original large wall stones are too big to re-use in this project; however, to preserve the historical significance of the wall and significantly cut down on material costs, the Park Dept. is stockpiling the original stones so they can be broken-up into smaller pieces and re-used.
