IN THE WORKS
DAYTONA STADIUM BAT REMOVAL: Crews successfully removed thousands of bats from the visitors’ side of Daytona Beach Stadium, just in time for the start of Florida’s bat maternity season, which began today. The city contracted with ProQuest Pest Control for the $26,267 project, which included installing special netting allowing bats to leave but blocking their return into small openings underneath seats. Crews also sealed expansion joints and concrete crevices to prevent future roosting. The project comes with a two- year warranty and an option for annual renewal. BETHUNE POINT PARK PLAYGROUND: The playground at Bethune Point Park, located at 11 Bellevue Ave., is now open to the public. Designed for children ages 5 to 12, the playground features two slides, swings and updated landscaping. A cushioned rubber surface was installed to enhance safety. The riverfront park also includes a picnic area, boat ramp, fishing pier, skateboard park and baseball fields. JACKIE ROBINSON BALLPARK UPGRADES: Crews are currently focused on foundational work, including the construction of the elevator pit and installation of electric utilities. Over the next three weeks, this phase will continue as preparations are made for vertical construction. The project remains on schedule, with the new player development facility anticipated to be finished in January. Other upgrades in the historic ballpark have been completed including the installation of a batter’s eye, new foul poles and audio improvements. INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY BOULEVARD BEACH RAMP: The International Speedway Boulevard Beach Ramp project has opened to the public. The renovation project added a new restroom facility, improved lighting, upgraded parking and hardscape, an additional beach access lane and new utility installations. TEXT-TO-PAY PARKING ON CITY-OWNED LOTS: A new text-to-pay option will soon be available at select beachside parking lots, making it easier and more convenient for visitors to pay for parking. The contactless system lets users pay directly from their mobile phones and receive text messages with updates on their remaining parking time. This new service will be offered at the following lot locations: Breakers Oceanfront Park, Harvey Avenue, the Corbin Building, Wild Olive Avenue, Ocean Avenue and Coates Street.
