Community Survey (See Attachment 5) A community survey regarding the design of Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks was advertised from May 11 — July 11, 2022. The survey was completed by 491 people and included the following responses: • Favorite thing about Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks? 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 concerts 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 the proposed parking lot? o 62 percent said to provide a balance between parking and recreation while 38 percent said maximize parking • Is there anything missing from the park design? o The top two responses (besides shade and trees) were a children's play area and a restroom at Lions Wayside Park • If the project is phased, which park would you like to see constructed as the first phase? o 81 percent said Lions Wayside Park • Approximately 40 percent of people taking the survey live 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, and two-thirds of survey takers were 41 or older. It should be noted that the community survey was intended as a method of informing people of the proposed conceptual plan much like the other public outreach efforts. While it did ask questions to gain a general understanding of how people view the proposed conceptual plan as well as how they currently use the park, it was not designed to be a statistically significant survey. 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 (e.g., 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 BPTC reviewed the project and public comments on August 22, 2022. Two residents attended the meeting, and both expressed their support for leaving the layout of the parks as it currently exists and improving the parks without relocating the creek. The BPTC was supportive of the overall design and had the following input: Page 7 of 9
