*Welcome Back to School! - *We’re excited to welcome all school families back to the Ballfield Road campus for the new school year! As we continue building our new Community Center, we want to ensure everyone has the information they need for a smooth and safe start to the year.
*Construction Progress Update - *We’re pleased to report that Phase 1 construction activities have progressed well through the summer. We expect to complete the final abatement <https://lincolncommunitycenter.com/documents/fuss-oneil-pod-abatement-procedures/> and demolition of the remaining Hartwell pod in early September, which will mark the completion of this initial phase of our project. *Campus Access and Parking - *The construction fence will remain in its current configuration for the foreseeable future, allowing 2/3 of the Hartwell parking lot to remain in use for occupants and guest of the Hartwell Building (Lincoln Public School Administrative Offices, Magic Garden Preschool, Parks and Recreation Offices, LEAP Admin Offices). Please take note of signage which reverses the traffic pattern around the Hartwell parking lot. We’ve made this modification to the entrance and exit of the Hartwell Parking Lot to create a safe and efficient traffic pattern during construction. You can preview access routes below: 1.

Please use caution, especially on the woodland trails. *Construction Schedule Considerations - *To minimize disruption to school operations, there will be no major construction traffic or deliveries during school drop-off and pick-up times. This helps to minimize the impact of construction on campus. *Safety Reminders - *For everyone’s safety, please be respectful of the construction fence line and keep a safe distance from all construction areas. All work continues to be conducted with the highest safety standards, and maintaining appropriate boundaries helps us protect both our community members and construction workers. *Moving Forward Together - *This community center project represents our shared commitment to creating a vibrant space for Council on Aging, Human Services, Parks and Recreation, LEAP Afterschool program, and community activities to thrive. While construction activities may cause some temporary inconvenience, we’re confident that the result will be well worth it. We’ll continue to keep you informed throughout the construction process with regular updates on progress, upcoming milestones, and any changes that may affect community access or activities. Thank you for your patience and support as we work together to bring this incredible new facility to life. Here’s to a wonderful school year ahead!
