7.A - Page 5 Parking The Redwood City Improvement Association (RCIA), in partnership with the City, issued a request for proposals (RFP) for design of a digital wayfinding system in the downtown area. The RFP closed on January 22, with two proposals submitted. The RCIA board is reviewing the proposals and is expected to hold interviews mid-February. Selection of the consultant is expected by the end of February. In December, staff launched a three-year pilot project with Streetline to provide real-time on -street parking data for the entire downtown area. This data will inform future investments to manage downtown parking. The system is now collecting data to populate its tracking algorithms, which will be available to the public once completed. Staff is considering additional pilots for real-time data in the off-street parking lots. Agreements are being negotiated and should be executed by March 2018. Parks Linden Park reconstruction was completed at the end of June 2017. Originally built in 1971, the park was torn down in 2010 during the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's water pipeline upgrade and staff had to obtain new permits for reconstruction. Boasting a butterfly theme, caterpillar benches, and special willow art huts for play, the City recently won a State Award for best park design for Linden Park. A major ongoing project is design and construction of the Magical Bridge Playground. The first phase of the project, moving a PG&E transformer out of the playground area, was initiated in October and is expected to be completed in March. The Armory parking lot will also be expanded during this time to add 80 new parking spaces next to the proposed playground. Staff anticipate releasing the construction bid for the playground in February. Additionally, the Veterans Memorial Senior Center -YMCA Project is currently in the master planning phase. A series of community design meetings took place in January and February, with nearly 150 people in attendance. Other workshops and community engagement events are planned through May to allow for multiple opportunities for the community to provide feedback. The conceptual plan will be presented to City Council in March with a final plan anticipated for City Council consideration in May. Improvements were recently completed for the National Guard Armory building including re -carpeting, painting, replacement of windows, and installation of a new sport court. The synthetic turf replacement at Sandpiper and Marlin fields is complete and both fields are open.
