Joe Albi Traffic Meeting

A second meeting will be held this week to discuss how to handle an increased amount of traffic to the Joe Albi Sports Complex that will be caused by the construction of a new sports complex on the stadium site.

The meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, June 24 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the West Central Community Center, 1603 N. Belt Street. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
The complex will be payed for with funds from a $42.9 million bond issue recently approved by voters. Phase 1 of the project will include softball and soccer fields, a skateboard park, a BMX bike course, play equipment, trails and improved parking.

In addition to funding from the bond, improvements at the Joe Albi Stadium Complex will also be funded by $4 million from the sale of park property that was approved by City voters in 1999 and subsequently held in reserve.
