LAKEPORT, Calif. — The city of Lakeport is continuing the work to prepare for construction of its new downtown Lakefront Park.
The 6.9-acre park will be built at 800 N. Main St.
It’s being funded by a $5.9 million grant the city received from the California Department of Parks and Recreation in 2020.
The next phase of work began this week and included the demolition of the old sidewalk along the North Main Street frontage of the future park.
New concrete sidewalks will be installed soon after the demolition work is complete, officials said.
The public is asked to drive with caution in the construction zone area.
An alternative pedestrian access on the east side of North Main Street will be provided in the evenings and on weekends when there are no construction activities.
Construction plans for the new park are nearing completion.
The Lakeport Public Works Department expects to solicit construction bids no later than December 2021.
