scale design comfortable for trail users. Second, the landscaped area increases safety by providing a buffer between vehicular areas and trail users. The landscape buffer also allows for flexibility in conformity to the adjacent properties and grading for consistent trail slopes without additional obstructions (curbs, walls, etc.). Third, the trail is the southern regional trail entrance into Downtown Pleasanton. As with all our gateways, it should include features that invite the user and showcase the intended use. This is consistent with most other trails in the City as well as the character of the downtown area and the expectations of trail users. For visualization, the proposed parking lot will be similar to the Firehouse Arts Centers parking lot: -The proposed parking lot consists of a 56 -foot -wide paved parking lot to accommodate 140 perpendicular parking stalls (8.5 feet x 17 feet spaces on the west side; 8.5 feet x 15 feet on the east side) with 24 -foot drive aisle, an 8 -foot concrete pathway, and a landscaped area ranging from zero- to 5 -feet wide adjacent to the property east and west. -The Firehouse Arts Center parking lot consists of a 56 -foot -wide paved parking lot to accommodate 91 (9 feet x 16 feet) perpendicular parking stalls with a 24 -foot, two-way drive aisle, an 8 -foot concrete pathway, a 6 -foot trail path on decomposed granite, and landscaped areas buffered between property lines, the parking lot, and pedestrian/trail pathways. Staff believes that the proposed design is the best design possible on the available right-of-way, meeting the project's goal in providing the maximum number of parking spaces and accommodating pedestrian access through the corridor. Schedule The proposed schedule for the project is as follows: Start of Design: March 2018 Start of Construction: August 2019 Construction Completion: Spring 2020 FUNDING This parking lot improvements will be funded through the Capital Improvement Program.
