The DDA’s next budget approval will wait until the figures are reconciled with City staff, with the budget required by the end of May. The Robina project must be substantially completed by September 2026 to meet its grant requirements, so material choices and construction timing will be addressed at the May 27 special meeting. Dorothea Road is expected to close temporarily while the pocket park is activated in late June and early July.
