Community Input Survey Cricket Field Location Options at Ken Mercer Sports Park <br />9/37 <br />really a choice. I also don't like that it would take away a soccer field and more renovations to <br />the field. <br />152 <br />Please don't REMOVE mature trees. There should be more trees to provide shade (& sound & <br />6/24/2022 7:15 PM <br />wind breaks) for the many people who walk, run, bike ride in the park. Trees shading sidewalks <br />are important, obviously, but trees across the park, away from the sidewalks also block the <br />bright sun & noise. <br />153 <br />Would like to have both youth and adult cricket options <br />6/24/2022 5:24 PM <br />154 <br />PRO's: 1. Provides year round accessibility 2. Away from snack bars and playground/picnic <br />6/24/2022 9:02 AM <br />areas (Safety) 3. Arroyos and chain link fences along Arroyo minimize risk of errant balls to <br />homes and family members watching the game 4. Provides options for both adults and youth <br />on the same field (similar to soccer fields) 5. Seems to minimize impact to existing soccer <br />field and baseball fields. CONS 1. Proximity to the bleachers of baseball field LL10. 2. 1 <br />believe Your blue line is only drawn for youth soccer and not the adult field. 3. What is the <br />impact to the existing T -ball backstop near the radius (but not shown on your drawings) 4. <br />Mens Cricket leagues have been playing in the HB "D" field in the park. Is this a predominantly <br />male league? In order to do option 1 you are taking out a youth (co-ed?) T -Ball field and a girls <br />GSB ##4 if you plan for the adult field. 5. What material is the ''pitch" made of? Is it a tripping <br />hazard when fields are used for other purposes? <br />155 <br />Not utilized enough now and very little removal of trees etc. Plenty of parking and bathrooms <br />6/23/2022 8:39 PM <br />156 <br />You'll have to cut down trees and interfere with a field that is available for option 2 <br />6/23/2022 8:25 PM <br />157 <br />I'd prefer Pickleball courts. <br />6/23/2022 6:28 PM <br />158 <br />A cricket field adds more traffic to an already busy sports park. Adding another sports group <br />6/23/2022 5:51 PM <br />will push soccer to fight for more little league space. <br />159 <br />You guys are crazy to want to add an additional major sport to Ken Mercer. It's at capacity on <br />6/23/2022 5:19 PM <br />busy soccer and baseball/softball weekends as it is. <br />160 <br />This is a nice large expanse of grass don't ruin it. <br />6/23/2022 12:47 PM <br />161 <br />There is a little overlap to baseball field hence if baseball is going on then we can't have <br />6/23/2022 8:04 AM <br />cricket at the same time. <br />162 <br />Need more information but want to make sure it does not disrupt current soccer fields <br />6/22/2022 10:01 PM <br />163 <br />Best option to accommodate both adult and youth. <br />6/22/2022 4:42 PM <br />164 <br />Interferes with existing soft/baseball field <br />6/22/2022 3:38 PM <br />165 <br />option 3 <br />6/22/2022 3:15 PM <br />166 <br />1 like that this is at the front part of the park, and mostly on one surface (grass) <br />6/22/2022 2:27 PM <br />167 <br />The postcard I received said that Option 2 will have the adult field, but this shows it as Option f <br />6/21/2022 7:52 PM <br />1. Which one is it? I hope this error will be fixed sooner than later and the public will be notified <br />of the oversight in a timely manner. It's appalling to see the money being wasted with meetings <br />upon meetings and discussions to choose a location for a cricket field. As a longtime <br />Pleasanton resident, I don't recall anyone ever asking for my opinion on the exact location to <br />place a baseball field, soccer field, or lacrosse field. Just build it already! It's long overdue and <br />completely unfair to the cricket community to delay this any longer. <br />168 <br />Cricket is a sport that is too loud for play of any age so close to the homes that back to the <br />6/20/2022 4:38 PM <br />park. If you look at the radius, the circle would be in our backyards if you moved it 90 degrees. <br />that is the problem, it is too loud. Cricket is a game where each and every bat up includes loud <br />clapping and yelling and cheering (BEFORE 8 am on weekends ) unlike any other sport every <br />allow play in this sports park, they should be in a field like across bernal, where there are NO <br />HOMES within 50 FT. Keep the play as is and find or fund another place that is nowhere close <br />to residents for noisy sport play. <br />169 <br />Currently there is a pitch located at Alisal that could satisfy this. <br />6/20/2022 10:53 AM <br />170 <br />Like this one the best, only impacts one soccer field. No impact to housing with creek divider <br />6/19/2022 3:30 PM <br />171 <br />We need cricket fields. Thank you <br />6/19/2022 9:32 AM <br />9/37 <br />
