TRUSSVILLE — Paving was ongoing Thursday around the Veterans Memorial Monument at Civitan Park in Trussville.
Trussville Mayor Gene Melton said he will attend the Trussville Historical Board’s March 3 meeting to talk about the project. He said it “appears” the contractor is about to “finish up” with the first phase of the project.

The first phase includes finishing the parking lot and landscaping around the Veterans Memorial Monument on the Civitan Park side of the Cahaba River. This work was let for bid May 30, 2014, and Walker Patton Contracting was the low bidder, coming in with a bid of $388,248.22. Work on the phase began in August.
Melton said there is part of Civitan Park included in Phase 2 of the project.
“When Phase 1 is complete I will meet with (the Alabama Department of Transportation) to determine how much of the park can be open,” Melton said.
The Civitan Park greenway project was divided into two jobs in November 2013. The second aspect involves the rest of the site, including linking the greenway from Civitan Park to the Trussville Sports Complex along the Cahaba River.
