GATLINBURG â A new retaining wall at Mynatt Park is among a number of items that are being added to the ADA accessibility project.
The City Commission approved a $140,975 change order from Whaley Construction that included the replacement of an existing stone wall next to the basketball courts.
âUnfortunately since this project began in 2018 that wall has deteriorated significantly with large chunks of concrete falling out between the boulders,â said Parks and Recreation Director Laurence Evans.
Upcoming work at the park included work on the sidewalk above, which would have damaged it further.
âWe are asking to remove that wall and put in place a tiered cast-in-place wall which will also kind of serve as a spectator place for the basketball. It will look a lot better,â Evans said.

HE PRACTICE of elevating a company’s chief executive to chairman has come to be frowned upon, if only because a new boss often struggles to break free if her predecessor is looking over her shoulder. Not so at Amundi, Europe’s biggest money manager. In May Yves Perrier, its
CEO since 2010, will move upstairs and Valérie Baudson, his current deputy, takes the helm as chief executive. Shareholders have reacted to the news rather well: Amundi’s share price has risen by 11% since it was announced in February.
