The Mayor has announced he plans to start demolishing the Rodney Reservoir in January:

• 4 Months of Demolition
• Break-up Concrete Water Tank
• Run Concrete Through “Munchers”
• Bury Rubble On-Site
• Grade the Site
• Plant Grass

What residents are asking the City to do before starting demolition:

Test the concrete and piping systems for hazardous substances to protect our health during demolition.

Why: The community deserves to know what hazardous substances may be released into the air, soil and water by the demo and munching activity. There should be a clear plan to keep us safe.

Complete the design for the new park and commit to building it.

Why: Starting demolition before completing the community design process wastes resources and leaves the site in limbo. The City has not yet committed or pledged funds to build a park after demo and grading.

We live here! Let’s make sure the project is done safely and creates a park!
