8.B. - Page 7 of 122 CIP Project Milestones Updates on a few major projects in each category of the CIP are provided below. A comprehensive update on the entire CIP will be provided on April 22, 2019, when staff will seek City Council direction on updating the Five -Year CIP. Facilities A significant project for FY 2018-19 is the City Facility Security Project. Staff are currently making security enhancements at City facilities, with the initial focus on City Hall. The first phase, focused on employee areas, has been completed. Production on other security enhancements has begun and will continue into the second half of the fiscal year, with expected completion by the end of the fiscal year. The largest undertaking for this project includes making alterations to the City Hall lobby. Staff is working with consultants to develop new check-in procedures for visitors to City Hall, and a plan to incorporate turnstiles into the lobby's entryway and elsewhere within the facility to regulate the flow of pedestrian traffic, while maintaining the existing aesthetics to the extent possible. For this portion of the project, staff expects to have a plan and design in place by the end of this fiscal year, with construction beginning early next fiscal year. Parking Last year, 385 downtown parking spaces were added to the public parking supply for nights and weekends. This includes the shared parking at 815 Hamilton and 601 Main Street, reopening of the Winslow parking lot, and the opening of the pass-through between the Jefferson Garage and 815 Hamilton. Redwood City Improvement Association's consultant for the parking guidance system completed an assessment and is working on the design and specifications for a wayfinding system. Staff expects to release a request for proposals for the parking guidance system in June 2019. Parks A major ongoing project is construction of the Magical Bridge Playground. Despite the wet weather that Redwood City has experienced this winter, construction on the project continues, and removal of the old storm and sewer drainpipes has occurred. Artist agreements are being completed so that special playground features will be included as part of the construction phase, and new trees are being secured for future planting. The estimated completion timeframe for the project is late fall to early winter of 2019. Hoover Field is the next synthetic field to be replaced as a part of the Synthetic Turf Replacement program. Nearly ten years old, the field is in need of renovation. The bid for construction has been completed and construction is anticipated to be completed in spring of 2019. The Design Development (DD -Phase 1) of the Veterans Memorial Senior Center -YMCA Project has been completed by ELS Architecture. Phase I includes the Veterans Memorial Senior Center building design, the promenade, and the east parking lot. The administrative draft environmental impact report (DEIR) is expected to be completed in February. The Planning Commission will consider the DEIR first, with City Council consideration in Summer 2019.
