RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-10-08 | 2 | NEW BUSINESS 7-A Review and Comment on Alameda Point Waterfront Park Plan Presentation on Phase 1, updates and changes to the initial design plan was given by April Phillips, landscape architect of Alameda Point Waterfront Park. Changes included having shade trees that are drought tolerant and climate appropriate versus palm and orange trees, adding more shade structures with picnic sites, additional seating, changing some of the hardscape to softscape, maritime design lighting and keeping the storm water management more organic, low impact and gravity flow. Public art will be interactive, unique sculptures, leaving it to the artist's interpretation for locations to give sense of discovery with natural play. The art selection process will be a panel including people from Alameda Point Partners, April Phillips, Project architect and Rachel Campos who is involved in the local arts community, and Jen Crane who works with SF public arts program. Will bring the choices to the Public Art Commission and the Recreation and Parks Commission. Also will be looking for more integrated options like the artificial turf area to provide yoga, corn hole and concrete areas for chalk art. Future goals: Phase 1 will break ground in March 2020 and ideally completed approximately a year from now. Phase 2 will be another 500 plus feet with the remainder to be built by others. Taxiway trail will go all of the way down to the end per approved specific plan. Phase 3 will be along eastern edge which will include a kayak launch and will connect to the ferry. 7-B Review of Fiscal Year 2019-2021 Biennial Budget Recreation and Parks Department ARPD Director Wooldridge gave the report and answered questions on the FY 2019-20 budget which included information on Park maintenance division costs and the Recreation fund, cost allocation and Capitol Projects.
