Central Park Bandshell T - 19 days
It is hard to tell if the Bandshell is ahead or
behind schedule. The irrigation system was installed
today and the handicap access ramp concrete was also
poured. Fill was being spread by the hard working
Sentence to Serve crew. Sentence to Serve are
nonviolent offenders that work on community
improvement projects. There are mixed feelings about
Sentence to Serve labor; on the one hand working
outside is better than killing time in a cell. On the
other hand it is an easy source of cheap labor for
communities that can become too easy to use.
The sod is scheduled to be laid on June 29, which
seems awfully close to the July 4th dedication. The
entire park (one city block) will be
re-sodded.
