The proposed Project will upgrade the existing athletic field area of Dorsey HS. The Project will demolish and remove the existing decomposed granite track, natural grass football/soccer field, field event facilities, scoreboard, goal posts, trees, and irrigation systems. To replace these features, the Project will consist of construction of a new natural grass football/soccer field, synthetic track, practice long jump and shot put, decomposed granite track, irrigation and drainage, modular home restroom building, home bleachers (1,500-seat capacity), visitor bleachers (500-seat capacity), field lighting, press box and sound system, scoreboard, goalposts, fencing and grates, accessibility upgrades as required and associated landscape, hardscape, and infrastructure upgrades. The Project will include a new, approximately 20-foot-wide driveway on Obama Boulevard that will allow for emergency vehicle access to the site. The driveway area will also be provided with a new pedestrian walkway and gate. The Project will not generate growth or require the addition or construction of new or expanded facilities.
