Grand Oak Park Construction and Grant Street Two-Way Question
Summary
The park project is on track for mid-August site completion with restrooms by early December. Officials sparred over a new paver sidewalk on Grant Street — some worry it pre-commits the city to converting the street to two-way and eats park green space — but staff says it fits within the existing contingency and the two-way decision will come separately.

The downtown pocket park should be finished by mid-September, though restrooms won't open until the end of February — part of the park will be cordoned off meanwhile. Members also pressed staff on an unresolved question about why the restroom foundation size changed.
