Main Beach Basketball Courts to Close in October

Construction on a new underground sewer lift station at Main Beach means that the popular basketball courts there will need to be closed temporarily, starting in mid-October. It's not know exactly when they will reopen.

In other news from City Manager John Pietig's weekly update:

Circle Way Storm Drain and Steps – The City will begin construction next week on the Circle Way Storm Drain and Steps project. The project will include a new 42” diameter storm drain, reconstruction of the steps to the beach, new irrigation, and all new landscaping. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Circle Way, which is a one way street, will be completely closed at the top of the steps to the beach for the duration of the project. The street will be temporarily converted to a two way street to facilitate ingress and egress on each side of the road closure.
