PROPOSE D P ARKS & T RAILS P ROGRAM Park Improvement Projects D -5 The Parks Program’s Park Improvement Projects section contains Capital Improvement Program projects that repair or improve a Town park as the primary scope of work. Typical park improvement projects include parking lot, walkway, and basketb all or tennis cour t resurfacing; and park equipment or facility upgrades. The Park Improvement Projects section does not have ongoing programs; all projects are considered one -time projects. The exception to this is the Parks Fibar replacement project. Because of many y ears not completing this work, this program will require an ongoing five years of catchup to bring all playgrounds back up to standard, after which an every other year program should suffice. One -time park improvement projects are prioritized based on heal th and safety issues, available funding sources, infrastructure impacts, project costs, and community impacts. State park bond funds made available in 2000 and 2002 have funded many park projects in Los Gatos; however, these funds are not ongoing. Los Gat os does have Park Construction Tax Revenue as a designated funding source for the Parks operating program budget; however, tax receipts are limited to approximately $11,000 per year , and are not s ufficient for a capital program . In addition to GFAR fundi ng, grants, in -lieu fees, and CDBG funds are pursued and utilized for park improvements when available.

Location The project is located at Town Plaza Park, at the corner of West Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue. Project Background Plaza Park, loc ated in the heart of downtown Los Gatos, is a popular park and hosts a variety of community events, such as Jazz on the Plazz and the Farmer’s Market. Because of the amount of high foot traffic at this location, the turf is heavily impacted. This project will remove the existing sod and soil. New soil will be added to the area to enhance root growth and to re -grade the ground to mitigate standing water issues. Additionally, along with the installation of new turf grass, minor changes to the irrigation s ystem will be completed to maximize water coverage. The last time the turf was replaced was approximately 7 years ago. The project will be completed during a period when there is the least impact on scheduled downtown events. Operating Budget Impact s This project will use staff time for the construction inspection and management. The staff time for this project will be included in the department’s FY 2014/15 Operating Budget.

Location The project is located at Bachman Park, bordered by Bachman, Belmont, and Nicholson Avenues. Project Background Bachman Park is a small 3.6 acre neighborhood park close to downtown Los Gatos that is bordered by Bachman, Belmont and Ni cholson Avenues. The park features a basketball court on the southwest side of the park, playground equipment, as well as a large lawn area for recreational use. Over the last several years, the basketball court was resurfaced, the playground equipment wa s retrofitted to be in compliance with consumer quality guidelines, and the turf irrigation system was replaced. Other major park infrastructure improvements have not been made to this park in many years due to limited funding. This project will make improvements to the asphalt pathway as well as the park’s pathway lighting. The lighting in this particular park is outdated and will be replaced with more energy efficient lighting fixtures. The improvements will be scheduled in phases to minimize the impact on park users.

Location The project is located at Oak Meadow Park, which is located at 233 Blossom Hill Road. Project Background Oak Meadows Park is the most highly used park in Los Gatos. Due to its location and size, Oak Meadows Park is a popular destination for individuals and organized groups. In 2003, led by the Los Gatos Community Foundation, the Lyndon Bandstand was constructed and completed at Oak Meadows Park with the Lyndon Cupola placed atop of the structure. The cupola was constructed in 1887 by Lyndon Farwell and once sat on the carriage house at the Farwell Estate on Wood Road. The original project and renovation of the cupola cost $350,000 and was 100% funded from community fundraising and grant money from the County of Santa Clara. The bandstand is used for weddings, family gatherings, and community events, such as the Shakespeare in the Park. Today, the structure is starting to show signs of aging and is i n need of preventive and corrective maintenance. The project will restore the cupola’s historic wooden features, eradicate the rusting of the steel structure welds, and repaint the entire structure including the brick safety markings. Operating Budget I mpacts The project will use staff time for construction management and inspection. The staff time for this project will be included in the department’s FY 2014/15 Operating Budget.

P ARKS & T RAILS P ROGRAM Trail Improvement Projects D -29 The Parks Program’s Trail Improvement Projects section contains Capital Improvement Program projects that construct, repair, or improve a Town trail as the primary scope of work. Typical trail improvement projects include pathway construction or resurfacing. The Parks Program section does not have ongoing programs; all projects are considered one -time identified body of work projects. The exception to this is the Parks Fibar replacement project. Because of many years not completing this work, this program will require an ongoing five years of catchup to bring all playgrounds back up to standard, after which an every other year program should suffice. One -time park improvement projects are prioritized based on health and safety issues, available funding sources, infrastructure impacts, proje ct costs, and community impacts. Los Gatos does have Park Construction Tax Revenue as a designated funding source for the Park operating program budget ; however , tax receipts are limited to approximately $11,000 per year, not sufficient for a capital prog ram . In addition to GFAR funding, grants, in -lieu fees, CDBG funds and donations are pursued and utilized for trail improvements when available.

Location This project is located at Santa Rosa Open Space, Hein z Open Space and Belgatos Park . Project Background The Town has a number of open space preser ves that are un der its jurisdiction . There are several public trail networks that traverse the open space preserves in the hillsides. The aging process has deteriorated a number of retaining walls and embankments along some trail sections. W ithout proper repair and replacement, the possibility of failure of the trails will increase greatly. This project will repair and replace several retaining walls that are supporting the trails and their embankments. In addition, this project will improve the drainage s ystem around the retaining walls to prevent further erosion of the trails. Operating Budget Impacts This project will use staff time for construction inspection and management. The staff time for this project is included in the department’s FY 2014/15 Op erating Budget.

P ARKS & T RAILS P ROGRAM Trail Improvement Projects D -32 Project Name Highway 9 Pathway Connection to Los Gatos Creek Trail Project Number 831 -4505 Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Supe rintendent: Steve Regan Description This project will construct a pathway and bridge from Highway 9 to the Los Gatos Creek Trail . Location This project is located at Highway 9 near University Avenue . Project Background In order to access the Los Gatos Creek Trail, trail use rs must cross the Highway 9 intersection at University Avenue . This particular intersection has heavy volumes of motor vehicle traffic and is difficult to cross . Construction of two (2) trail connections from H ighway 9 to Los Gatos Creek Trail will greatl y improve the access to the trail for pedestrians and bicyclists . The first link (on the north side) will start a t sidewalk near the Wraight Avenue and Highway 9 intersection , and run parallel to the H ighway 9 overpass in the easte rly direction. In order t o access the t rail from the south side , a pedestrian bridge will need to be constructed to connect west and east sides of the channel. The sec ond link will start at the Highway 9 and Highway 17 north merger , and arc northwards to the Los Gatos Creek Trail. The total estimated length of extension is 450 ft. The Town will request redirection of a Water District grant for the Sports Park Pedestrian bridge to this project, as the Sports Park bridge project cannot proceed pending completion of a Vasona Damn sei smic study by the County and Water District. Operating Budget Impacts This project will use staff time for construction inspection and management. The staff time for this project and will be included in the FY 2014/15 Operating Budget.
