Emerson Park Construction Update: 3-3-2022

Kilmoyley Construction worked to clean up the entire construction site and remove all equipment, fencing, and remaining materials as of 12-17-2021. CPW worked alongside the contractor under some very challenging conditions to install 15,000 square feet of additional sod to cover the bare soil area near the pool/playground/walking path area. The original plan was to use grass seed to establish this area but that wasn’t viable at the end of the growing season. Additional grading and pavement adjustments near the Stow Street ramp were completed prior to sod installation.  

There are still some items that will be addressed in the spring of 2022 including the new fence installation at Everett Street and gate posts at the Stow Street and Thoreau Street access points to prevent motor vehicle access. The wells and irrigation system will be charged up and tested in April when warmer weather is upon us.  CPW is excited to be bringing the Emerson Phase 1 improvements project to a close and returning the space to full capacity for the community. The project presented many challenges, but the response from the community has been very positive.
