Work continues on the Takoma Park Library and Community Center Redevelopment Project. Much of the work has moved indoors and is minimally affected by the snow and ice, but some work continues outdoors. The City of Takoma Park has shared some recent advances in the project:
- The Maple Avenue bridge and building entrance have reopened for public access
- City staff met with Treincarnation to make final arrangements for crafting Library furniture from the trees felled from the site
- Stormwater utility work is making progress on the Philadelphia Avenue side; winter weather has impacted the schedule, but it is still moving forward, and we are close to finishing the tie-in with the main sewer system. Bedrock remains a persistent challenge, but the work continues.
Substantial completion is currently scheduled for mid-May, at which point the Library and Recreation Department move back to 7500 Maple Avenue will be coordinated. The official reopening date is still yet to be determined. More information will be provided once available.
