Youth Soccer at the Central Park Sports Complex - Youth Soccer was the biggest game in town over the past two weekends as young teams took over the Central Park Sports Complex. North Huntington Beach Futbol hosted one of the largest youth soccer tournaments of the year and used the fields at the Central Park Sports Complex as well as many other facilities throughout the community. Teams participating in the tournament came from throughout the state of California as well as Arizona, Washington, and Nevada. What the teams found was great weather, great fields, and a great time. Over the two-weekend tournament, nearly 100 teams were represented in this annual event. North Huntington Beach Futbol did a great job with the tournament as well as the clean up after the event. North Huntington Beach Futbol has already expressed interest in using the facility for their 2006 tournament.
PUBLIC WORKS
Street Improvement Project Awarded - The City Council recently awarded a contract for the 2004/05 Arterial Rehabilitation and Residential Street Overlay Project. The work includes repairs of arterial segments of Adams Avenue, Delaware Street, Edinger Avenue, and Ellis Avenue. For the residential component of the project, the full lengths of Carousel Lane, Wanderer Lane, El Arroyo Drive, Paseo Circle, Fernhill Circle, Pro Circle, Whittier Lane, Newman Avenue, and Van Buren Street will be resurfaced. Segments of Greenview Lane, Lafayette Drive, and Valentine Drive will also be resurfaced with this project. The streets included in the arterial rehabilitation were determined by the condition rating identified in the Pavement Management Program as well as available funding. The residential street segments were added to supplement the annual slurry program. The $3 million project is funded through the city's annual Measure M allocation.
