DRAFT MASTER PLAN FOR THE OPTS DeLucchi Park should suppon and complement the functions of Wayside Park and other nearby activities. such as the Farmers' Market. It should also accommodare acriviries of irs own. The park would have a small parking area, public rest rooms. and a group picnic area. The addition of many shade trees would subsrantially enhance rhe ambi- ence of the park in hot weather. The DPTS Master Plan recommends removal of the existing train tracks, caboose. and boxcar. on the old SPRR right of way next to DeLucchi Park. to accommodate the proposed park improvements. In order to treat the land in the old SPRR right of way as part of the park. and to protect the safety of the public, it is also recommended that the drainage ditch (currently with vertical stone walls and no rail- ings) adjacent to DeLucchi Patk be covered. . PLAZA AREA Concrete paving should be light strength vehic- ular concrete, with special treatment, such as color, scoring. banding. etc. Paving should be integrated into overall park design. by use of the same or com- plementary patterns. colors. etc. in the plaza as are designed in other areas of the park. Special paving may include such materials as stone or pre-cast con- crete pavers. The plaza area should accommodate at least one flagpole. a drinking fountain, shade trees, seating, trash receptacles. planter pots, and special lighting. The plaza area should include one bus shelter on each side of Neal St. W ATE R F EAT U R E The plaza area should include at least one water feature fountain. (on one or both sides of Neal St).
