Presentation on West End Improvement Project - (Discussion Item) Carol Beaver, Community Development Division Manager, and Michael Smiley, BMS Design Group, provided to the Recreation and Park Commission a presentation on the West End Improvement Project. The West Alameda Neighborhood Improvement Project was funded by the City Council as part of the FY 2003-04 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Plan in July 2003. The boundaries of Census Tract 4276 define the neighborhood, which was selected based on census data indicating the greatest number of low-income households in the City, observations of blighting physical conditions, and continuing efforts to improve the physical and social environment in the area through various community partnerships and the Harbor Island Task Force. Pending acceptance of the Plan by the City Council at its April 19, 2005 meeting, the Plan will provide a conceptual frame work for public improvements in the neighborhood over the next five or more years. Some of the improvements will need to be refined to meet technical requirement and changing conditions over time. Approximately $400,000 in CDBG Funds is available to implement the first phase of improvemetns, which will be established following the Plan acceptance Process. Copies of the West Alameda Neighborhood Improvement Concept Plan draft will be available beginning February 23, 2005 for review at the City Clerk's Office, Chipman Middle School, Woodstock Elmentary School, Longfellow Elementary School, the West End Branch Library and the City of Alameda's Development Service Department at 950 West Mall Square, 2nd Floor, Alameda, 94501.
