The old fence is gone already and a new one is coming for the Fairmount Park play field on Fauntleroy Way s.w.
Construction of a replacement fence along Fauntleroy Way s.w. at Fairmount Park will take place from September 17 – 21.
Some parking on Fauntleroy Way s.w. will be blocked during construction with some marked as “No Parking from 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday – Friday
The cost for this project is being met by the The Parks and Green Spaces Levy which established an inflation adjustment for development projects intended to ensure that, should there be inflation in the construction industry, projects built in the later years of the levy would have sufficient funding.
To date, levy projects have not experienced inflation and have benefited from a competitive bid climate.
Based upon the absence of construction industry inflation, the Parks and Green Spaces Levy Oversight Committee recommended re-allocating these funds to a specific list of high priority major maintenance projects at Seattle Parks and Recreation. The Fairmount Playfield Fence Replacement is one of
these projects.
Seattle Parks contracted with MOCON Fencing Company to replace the worn fabric and posts along Fauntleroy Way SW.
