Staff spoke with approximately 30-40 people at the meeting. • A few residents recommended relocating the paths proposed in the main audience area so there is more turf/viewing area • Some residents wanted to add more picnic tables and trash receptacles • Several people wanted to install a restroom in Lions Wayside Park • Several people wanted an area for dancing in front of the bandstand • Many residents wanted to keep the trees Community Survey (See Attachment 5) A community survey regarding the design of Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks was advertised from May 11 – July 11. 491 people completed the survey. • Favorite thing about Lions Wayside and Delucchi Park? o Top two responses were trees and concerts in the park • How do people currently use the parks? o Top two responses were eating ice cream and concert in the park • What park amenities are most important to include in the new design? o Trees and bandstand • Do you agree with the location of the bandstand as proposed o 80 percent said yes • Preferred use of proposed parking lot? o 62 percent said to provide a balance between parking and recreation while 38 percent said maximize parking • If the project is phased, which park would you like to see constructed as the first phase? o 81 percent said Lions Wayside • Approximately 40 percent of people taking the survey lived within walking distance of the parks and 95 percent of the people live in Pleasanton • 42 percent of the people that took the survey were 56 or older while two-thirds of survey takers were 41 or older In general, the input received during the public outreach was positive and supportive of the conceptual plan with some requests for modifications or clarifications, such as modifying some pathway locations, including furnishings (bike parking, picnic tables, trash receptacles, etc.), providing a balance between parking and recreation for the properties that the City purchased on First Street, providing more shade, retaining as many trees as feasible, and providing more detail for the bandstand and areas around the bandstand. A minority of residents were opposed to the project and/or the cost of the project. The next step is to present the public input to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The master plan will then be updated based on the public input received, the recommendation from the Commission and input from the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee.
