Redevelopment Plans, New Parks Expected
City residents will see the completion of some public projects, including new parks, and the beginning of others this year.
A 9.7-acre park on Pioneer Road in east Tustin, called Cedar Grove Park because it contains about 350 cedar trees, is scheduled for completion by early March, Assistant City Manager Christine Shingleton said.
Construction recently began on a 5-acre park at Tustin Ranch Road and Heritage Way, which should be completed late this year, Shingleton said.
Several redevelopment projects are in the planning stages, and officials also are looking at upgrading water facilities and possibly building an underground reservoir.
In another major planning issue, officials are expecting an environmental impact report in June to guide redevelopment of the Tustin Marine Corps Helicopter Air Station. The base is set to close in late 1999, and the city plans to develop the property with housing, retail stores and a school.
