Julia de Burgos Park, one of four ground-level parks spread out along the 606, was approved yesterday by the City Council for expansion. The lot north of the park at 1805 N. Albany was bought last year by the Department of Planning and Development for $260,000.
Before that space becomes part of the actual park, however, the City Council agreed to an Open Spaces Impact Fee grant in the amount of $235,000 that will aid in environmentally cleaning up the area. This will mean that the park will be expanded by .15 acres when completed.
