Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br />Concrete Garbage Cans <br />New concrete garbage cans have been installed in several parks throughout the city. Thus far <br />eighty-four garbage cans have been installed to replace the rusted and failed plastic-coated <br />metal garbage cans. The new concrete cans are manufactured in California, are less <br />expensive, and will last for decades. <br /> <br />Harvest Park <br />A very large dead Monterey pine was removed at the park with a crane. This is the second <br />large Monterey pine to be removed from the park in the last several years. <br /> <br />Irrigation Controller Upgrades <br />New irrigation controllers were installed at Orloff Park and Creekside Park. Additional irrigation <br />controllers will be installed later this spring as part of the Annual Irrigation Upgrade CIP. Many <br />of the irrigation controllers in the park and median system are over twenty years old and are <br />no longer supported by the manufacturer and have issues with getting updates from the <br />software program via radio communication. <br /> <br />Ken Mercer Sports Park <br />• As part of the garbage can replacement program, twenty-eight new garbage cans were <br />installed specifically at this large park. <br />• A large section of concrete pathway was replaced to repair lifted and damaged <br />concrete. <br /> <br />Medians <br />The first year of the new median mulch contract was completed. The medians that were <br />mulched included Dublin Canyon Rd., Stoneridge Dr. (west of Hopyard), Foothill Rd., W Las <br />Positas (west of Hopyard), Hopyard Rd., Del Valle Parkway, and Fire Station 4. <br /> <br />Oak Hill Park <br />Staff began renovation of the upper planter at this park. As part of the renovation, several <br />trees that had a history of large limb failures were removed. New trees will be planted as part <br />of the renovation project. <br /> <br />Street Trees <br />This fall and winter, the median crew installed ninety-eight new street trees. <br /> <br />Landscape Architecture Tasks and Projects <br />Landscape Architecture activities for July 2024 through February 2025 included planning and <br />management of our parks, trails, and our urban forest. <br /> <br />Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks <br />The Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks Master Plan was adopted in 2014. The Master Plan, <br />by R.J. Larson and Associates, proposed to cover a portion of the drainage channel through <br />Lions Wayside Park, relocate the bandstand and provide a larger lawn area for concerts. The <br />City was unable to obtain approval for the project as proposed from the California Regional <br />Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and spent 8 years working on a design acceptable to <br />Page 42 of 48
