As you remember, a tractor trailer hit the north gazebo wall two years ago. Repairs are underway to shore up the platform floor, remove and replace the north wall, and refill the garden bed. This work is being covered by insurance and is solely to repair the truck damage.
Unfortunately, the north wall contained the electrical panels that control the court & gazebo lights, sprinkler and splashpad system timers.
Work inside the gazebo has begun to move the panels temporarily to another wall.
PSE&G is involved as this is hooked up to the City system. The work may be delayed by the bad storms that rolled thru last week Tuesday as crews were being diverted for clean-up/repairs. The main electrical cables run through the garden section and wall demolition cannot begin until PSE&G moves the cables (when this happens the courts will not be lit for a couple of days).
The work is expected to be completed by end-July.
The HPNA is in regular contact with the City about the progress and will report back to the community as we get new updates.
