Hollydale Community Park Renovation Project

The City is in the process of renovating Hollydale Community Park with a goal of enhancing recreational opportunities to meet the communities needs.

The project entails removing all of the existing park improvements to make way for new amenities such as a new community building, rubberized running track, new playground, landscape and irrigation, and new artificial turf. 

Construction is underway. The contractor has graded the site, poured the wall footing for the new building, placed the underground plumbing and is currently in process of constructing the walls.

Construction is anticipated to be completed in August of 2023. 

Tweedy Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization

The City is implementing the Tweedy Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to enhance safety and traffic circulation by synchronizing 13 signalized intersections along Tweedy Boulevard from Victoria Avenue to Atlantic Avenue. The improvements include the installation of fiber optic cable, upgrade cabinets and controllers, re-wire intersections and installation of video detection systems. 

According to the Federal Highway Administration, traffic signal synchronization provides the following benefits:

• Improve air quality and reduce fuel consumption.
• Reduce congestion and save time for commercial and emergency vehicles, buses, and the public.
• Reduce the number of serious accidents.
• Reduce aggressive driving behavior, including red-light running.

A construction contract was awarded to California Professional Engineering Inc. at the January 10, 2023, City Council Meeting. The project is expected to start construction in March 2023 and be completed in 11 months.

Organic Collection Services for Residents

Organics are readily recyclable, and we can all play a part in reducing the emission of climate pollutants. Through its organics recycling requirements for residents and businesses, SB 1383 aims to reduce statewide disposal of organic waste by 75% by 2025. 

By separating your organic waste from your regular trash, you can reduce waste buildup in landfills and help create earth-friendly products like renewable energy, mulch, compost and healthy soil. Recycling organic materials reduces greenhouse gas emissions and creates a more sustainable system for our entire community. Visit SortWasteSG.org/FAQs for tips on sorting your waste. 

We encourage all residents to be a part of this effort and look forward to making an impact together! Learn more about the City's organics recycling program at SortWasteSG.org.
