01M2161M IND111► i►•ra:» The study summarized here was specifically conducted to identify the feasibility - the challenges and the prospects - with transforming existing City -owned land into a future park (or parks). In planning for these sites, this study considered not only existing conditions but also the implications of converting current uses to public green/open spaces. (This work also recognizes the limitations of available land in Downtown Redwood City.) The first draft of this report, presented to Redwood City City Council on March 12, 2018, summarized an analysis of six City -owned sites in Downtown Redwood City and the feasibility to convert these sites into public parks/open space areas. The findings and recommendations included in the draft report recommended that three of the six sites move forward to Phase 2 of the feasibility analysis where preliminary site planning and identification of potential improvements were to be studied. The three sites recommended for further study included Site 02: Library Lot A/ Roselli Park, Site 03: City Hall/Main Street and Site 06: Bradford Street/Redwood Creek. Following that draft presentation, the City's Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department conducted an extensive community outreach effort to gain a better understanding of how/ when citizens use the parking lots at Sites 02 and 03 and what types of amenities/programming the community would prefer in a Downtown park at either of those locations. A detailed description of this community engagement process was prepared by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and is included in Chapter IV of this report. 6 Site 03: City Hall/ Main Street Lot Top: Plaza at Middlefield Street Bottom: Northern end of site DOWNTOWN PARKS SITE ASSESSMENT 5 FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT 0 CQ (D rn
