Pioneer Project adds near popular Parking stalls on both sides of 100 South near 100 East in Pleasant Grove have recently been completed as part of a project pro-ject to tie both sides of Pioneer Park together. The Pleasant Grove City Council decided to remove some of the lawn on both sides of 100 South in order to add the parking spaces so that visitors can more easily visit the area. In addition, a self-guided walking tour from the Pioneer Museum (Old Bell School), past the old granary, log cabin and across the street to the historic city hall, the restored winter corral, and the restored fire engine shed and the rose garden gar-den is being prepared. Tours of the interior of the Pioneer Museum and Log Bids okayed for 700 E. street improvements By Marcella Walker City Editor Pleasant Grove City Council last week approved the apparent appar-ent low bid of H. E. Davis for the street improvements on 700 East. The Davis bid was $478,801.50. There were five bidders, all very good companies, compa-nies, according to Community Services Director Frank Mills. The director said that he felt good about the bids and the low bid was under the engineer's estimate. He told the council that the engineer had checked the figures in the bid to be sure they were accurate. Mills also told the council that the property owners on 700 East will have to be sure their waste water does not run onto the street. An information meeting with the property owners own-ers will be held prior to the beginning of construction. The project will start after Strawberry Days and must be Lindon rodeo queen sought Signups will be at 4:30 p.m. with the contest beginning at 5:30 p.m. Girls from the Utah County area between the ages of 12 and 16 for Jr. Queen and ages 11 and under for . . i s Parking more space historic park Cabin are available through the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. During the past winter, the historic city hall, where the Royal Victorian is now located, was reroofed, windows were reinstalled, insulation was added to the roof area, and other work was done to help preserve the building. The historic winter corral will be rebuilt soon and the fire department is in the process of restoring the original shed which housed the fire cart at about the turn of the century. Funds are being raised to purchase roses to be planted in the rose garden just to the south of the old city hall. Donations may be made at the city hall. finished by early September. It will be funded mostly by the property owners and Pleasant Grove B and C road funds and utility storm drain funds. The street will be 40 feet wide in most places but a little wider in other spots where sidewalk and curb and gutter have already been installed by the property owners. The UTA will move their bus route, which normally travels on 700 East, to one block west on 600 East for the duration of the construction. Many of the residents on 700 East have desired to have these street improvements put in for several years and there has been a great deal of concern about the safety of children who use this street to walk to and from school at Central School, Grovecrest School, Pleasant Grove Jr. High School and Pleasant Grove High School. Princess are invited to participate. The winners must be available for Lindon Days on Aug. 7 through 14. For further information infor-mation contact Lori Esteban at 785-3412. next week r v 7 ' -! h |
