Today’s newsletter will be our last until January 2022. Until then, have a safe and happy holiday season!
See you next year!
East Lawn Closure Begins this Week
We are getting ready to start construction on the new fountain and expanded lawn that will bring renewed magic to Klyde Warren Park between Olive and Pearl Streets. During the project, which is expected to last six months, this section of the Park will be closed. Additionally, one lane on Pearl Street and one lane on both sides of the Woodall Rodgers Freeway access road will also be closed. We expect perimeter fencing to be installed next week and light prep work to begin before the end of the year, with construction to start after the holidays. We can’t wait for you to see what we have planned!
