Wilson Park Renovation At the time the CIP was adopted in July, there was no funding for the Wilson Park renovation. Since then, staff obtained grant money and the P&R Commission has begun working with the neighborhood to detem~ine what should be done. To save money, staff will bid both Wilson and Portal renovations at the same time to attract more bidders and to save mobilization and administrative costs on the project. It is expected that both projects will bid mid winter. Page 1 of 8 Major Capital Improvement Projects - update Jan. 2002 Major Capital Improvement Projects 2001 - 2002 $.

Major Street Maintenance and Pavement Program This year the pavement improvement profixam was the most aggressive in the past ten years. By combining some slurry seal funds that did not get accomplished in the previous year and getting the VTA to combine two years allocation of pavement funds along with some additional funds from VTA carryover monies, we accumulated $1,700,000 for maintenance management (compared to approximately $800,000 last year and less in previous years). FY - 1999-2O0O Last year the paving included the overlay of Foothill Boulevard from Stevens Creek to 1-280 which was in bad shape primarily because of the quarry trucks. The FY 2000 program was appwximately 25 lanes miles of slurry seal and four lane miles of pavement reconstruction. FY2000-2001 This year was a very aggressive street maintenance program pursued by the department which included 35 lane miles of slurry seal and the complete repaying of 22 lane miles of city streets. The De Anza and Prospect segments were accomplished by aggressively urging San Jose and Saratoga to enter into coop agreements with the city for their portion of the street which we accomplished with our contract (San Jose and Saratoga's work is an additional $305,000 in their cities done by our contractor). In effect we accomplished almost $2,000,000 in street improvements, $1,700,000 in Cupertino and $300,000 in the other cities on our border. The effect of this effort was to completely eliminate the annual backlog of street maintenance needs identified by our pavement management program for this fiscal year.

Because of the Rancho annexation and other areas of need, we have aggressively pursued a lfigher level of activ/ty which was. funded by Council at my request in the 2001- 2002 operating budget for Streets Division. We have increased thc activity from $545,000 to $745,000. Additionally we successfully negotiated the third year contract amendment with Tally with very little increase in unit prices which effectively increases our effort now underway by almost 40%. The average repair costs vary from $500 to $2,000 per residential pwperty with a median cost of about $650. This increases our service to over 300 additional residences this year.

Traffic Calming Traffic calming is the evaluation of street and traffic conditions (mainly residential) where impwvements can be added to streets to reduce the speed and volume of traffic in residential areas. These improvements include everything from speed bumps (small) to speed humps (larger) as well as other traffic slowing or diversionary devices. The diversionary devices (diverters) vary from simple traffic "chokers" on either side of a street narrowing the street width to discourage speeding, to actual closures (such as the gates at Pacifica and Ton'e). Speed bumps are the most common and may be initiated by a two-thirds s.ignature petition from the residents (or tenants) on a street segment. There-are 21 street segments in Cupertino with speed bumps with another six petitions for bumps received since July. There are, additionally another 25 locations that have some fom~ of traffic restrictions imposed upon Lh__-m (such as the rotmdabout on Portal. About half of those were neighborhood requests by petition. The balance were conditions of development or master plan requirements imposed by the staff in conditions of development or master plan requirements imposed by the staffin accordance with Council goals to improve neighborhood traffic safety and walk ability.

The auction process will begin in January with the auction taking place at the second Council meeting in March (Monday, March 18, 2002). The current appraised value of the three properties is appmxima!e!y $4 million to $5 million. We will set a minimum bid somewhere in that range. It takes approximately 60 days to accomplish the following city-related tasks, depending on how council meetings fall within the process. Stocklmeir and Simms Appraisal Research Corporation is currently preparing appraisal reports and we should be ready by the first of 2002. 12.

The old spray pool needs to be demolished for safety reasons. David Nelson, of MPA Landscape Architects, attended this meeting to hear residents' ideas. Neighborhood ideas included: · Avoid a water fountain due to potential safety and drought issues · Include family, toddler, and children's activity areas, i.e., grass, picnic tables · Malntn~ restrooms · Keep the development level low · Include a fort-like structure for imaginative-type play At the April 5 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Mr. Nelson returned with the attached plan, which incorporates ideas the neighbors had for reconsuucting that part of the perk. As the drawing shows, the old utility building will be razed and replaced with a smaller structure. The spray pool area will be demolished and replaced with n play area for active and imaginative play. The neighbors suggested a fort-like suacture, and this idea has been worked into the design. The existing berm and mature trees surrounding the play area will be maintained. Other improvements to the park that will commence this summer include redoing walkways and ramps into the other play areas to make them handicapped accessible nnd replacing some of the older play equipment. These improvements are proposed to be paid for from Proposition 12 - Park Bond Act funds. The City will not receive these funds until al~er July 1; it is expected that this work will commence in late summer. Thank you for your time in participation with the Parks nnd Recreation Commission regarding Portal Park.
