Construction Update for September 5

On Tuesday, September 3, the City Council authorized a budget appropriation to remediate the failing subgrade and complete the Luther Burbank Park Sport Courts Renovation. (AB 6533)

FieldTurf, the City’s contractor, has resumed construction, starting with removing and disposing of the existing asphalt. After removing the asphalt, FieldTurf began excavating the subgrade under the consultation of AESI, the City's geotechnical consultant. AESI is monitoring excavation to ensure the contractor only removes as much weak material as necessary to reach stronger soils. Once excavation is complete, new material will be laid and compacted to create a stronger base for asphalt paving.

This project is back on track, and the courts are currently planned to reopen for play in October. View construction photos here.
