playground. The replacement elements would incorporate references and pay tribute to the historic nature of the icehouse. The building needs significant repairs and would not withstand being relocated without essentially being reconstructed. The Meadowlark Dairy generally supports removing the building and installing a new restroom or play structure with seating areas. Restroom and Playground There is an existing two-stall restroom at the south end of Delucchi Park adjacent to West Angela Street. Additional restrooms closer to the bandstand were identified as a priority during the master plan update. Adding a playground in Lions Wayside Park was also identified as a priority in the master plan process. The potential removal of the icehouse would provide an ideal location for either a playground or a public restroom as it is near water, electricity, and sewer. The costs for a public restroom or playground would significantly reduce the number of improvements that could be made in the park to the extent that the City would essentially get a new restroom or playground, a new bandstand, and the associated amenities needed to support those facilities, but nothing else. Regional Trail Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks run adjacent to and partially within the transportation corridor. Several plans have identified the extension of the regional trail system through the Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks. The Firehouse Arts Center and the recent Transportation Corridor Parking Lot Project have improved sections of the regional trail system. Both concept plans show a wide pathway to the east side of Kottinger Creek in Lions Wayside Park that could serve as a temporary trail connector until the City has sufficient funding to build a permanent class one trail through the transportation corridor west of Kottinger Creek. Property North of Lions Wayside Park The 2022 Master Plan concept included a 25-car parking lot on the property that the City purchased to the north of Lions Wayside Park. The parking lot would provide an access point from First Street to the Firehouse Arts Center parking lot, more parking for downtown and the park itself. In both Concept A and B, the area will temporarily include mulch and potentially some trees along with the temporary trail connector, until funding is available to improve the property as a parking lot. Park Improvement Costs Funding for the proposed Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks improvements totals approximately $1.9 million. The Phase 1 park improvements shown in Concepts A and B could be constructed for the available budget. The costs of the Phase 1 project components are as follows: Park Improvements (Phase 1) Bandstand: $180,000 - $200,000 Paving and furnishings: $700,000 - $750,000 TOTAL $900,000 - $950,000 Page 7 of 9
