Park board looks at 2013 projects

PRINCETON — Lighting upgrades, parking lot improvements and tree planting projects are just three of the several dozen projects on the 2012-13 projects list for the Bureau County Metro Center and the parks within the Princeton Park District.

At Monday’s park board meeting, Princeton Park Board Executive Director Elaine Russell and Superintendent of Parks Keith Scherer presented the prioritized lists, saying the lists are only guidelines. Not all the projects will be completed if other things come up and need more immediate attention. Also, some projects are dependent upon the cooperation of the weather, Scherer said.

Among the projects for the Metro Center for the 2013 year are overlay and patch work for the parking lot as well as lighting upgrades at the main swimming pool and wading pool, reconditioning bollard lighting and replacing building wash lighting and exterior door lighting. Other projects include removing two oak trees and brush that came down during last year’s storms in the woods on the Metro Center property as well as additional landscaping work on the property.
