As noted in the August report to the <br />council on Facility Management capital projects, two <br />street trees, included in the original project design, will <br />be installed after this season's final Farmers’ Market <br />on Saturday. In addition, the pervious paving installed <br />along Oak Street to provide additional space for the <br />Farmer's Market will be replacedunder warranty. The <br />original pervious paving system is not meeting <br />performance specifications. A different pervious <br />paving system will be installed as part of this project. <br />The original project, completed last April, improved the <br />County-owned space used by the Farmer's Market, <br />and was designed to also make the site more attractive to the general public. A number of raised <br />obstructions were removed, damaged paving replaced, benches relocated, and gravel areas along Oak <br />Street paved. Electrical, water and telephone connections were added to support programming in the <br />space. In all, the project expanded the paved area by 2,600 square feet. <br />The current project should be completed in about three weeks, barring weather delays. Design services <br />are provided by L. A. Kersh Architecture, with repairs by Triton Group, Inc., who was also the original <br />general contractor.
