# State to rebuild the slipping west-side road at Fowler Park at no cost to the parks department

## What happened
Parks staff said the state is now coming in to fix the original road on the west side of Fowler Park, which keeps slipping, after doing borings (soil test drilling) and agreeing to the option that fully fixes it. [t=441] The state plans to bid the job in January, and staff want work to start after next October's Pioneer Days, closing the road and blocking off the barn for the winter. [t=472] Staff said the repair will cost the parks department nothing. [t=535]

## The outcome
No vote was taken; this was a staff update, and no firm start date was set.
