The Commission unanimously approved the draft conceptual design for Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks with a recommendation that the bandstand be placed closer to Railroad Avenue similar to what was shown in the Parks and Recreation Commission’s 2019 preferred concept plan (Option B) and that the design contain a safety component for pedestrians crossing Neal Street. On April 12, 2022, City Council reviewed the updated conceptual plan, expressed their support of the design, including the orientation of the Chan Henderson Bicentennial Band Stand and regional trail as indicated on the plan, and directed staff to proceed with public outreach seeking community comment and concerns on the concept plan for the Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks Master Plan Update since it was significantly different from what had been presented in the past.
