Work Underway on West End Beach, Volleyball Parking Lot Improvements

Construction work is underway at both West End Beach and the RB parking lot by the volleyball courts starting this week and continuing through June 20.

Work includes the reconstruction of the West End parking lot and installation of bathroom facilities at both the West End and RB parking lots. Those lots are both closed starting this week. The TART Trail is also closed near those lots. TART Trail detours are as follows:

West End parking lot: The TART trail on the north side of Grandview Parkway will be closed between Division Street and the crossing at Elmwood Avenue. Users will be detoured to the south side of Grandview Parkway on the trail north of Bay Street.

RB parking lot: The TART trail on the north side of Grandview Parkway will be closed between Marina Drive and Hall Street. Users will be detoured to the south side of Grandview Parkway on the sidewalk.

At the West End parking lot - which has been damaged since 2020 due to high water levels - work will include reducing parking from 25 to 14 spaces, increasing ADA accessibility, planting native dune grass, and using natural stone for improvements. The new ADA-compliant restroom facilities near both parking lots are precast concrete structures built off-site and fabricated to meet all local building codes and design requirements.
