Downtown parks survey
The city of Pleasanton has launched a community survey online on updates to the master plan and preliminary park designs for Lions Wayside and Delucchi parks in downtown.
Improvements to the two parks have been a priority for the city dating back to last decade, but the project met with environmental review challenges under regional, state and federal regulations
“We now have a preliminary design that expands the park, adds more parking, adds more view areas for concerts and movies, and meets the requirements of the regulatory agencies! And we think the design meets or exceeds the goals and objectives that residents outlined in 2014,” city officials said on the project webpage.
They are collecting resident feedback on the design options through the survey (online until July 6), as well as at public outreach events including tonight’s Concert in the Park and a community meeting set for 6-7:30 p.m. next Wednesday (June 22). Visit cityofpleasantonca.gov.
Library computer system upgrades
The Pleasanton Public Library on Monday will begin the monthlong process of upgrading its computer systems to improve service levels and result in enhanced account features for library users, according to city officials.
“The upgrade is anticipated to be completed by July 20, during which time some services will be limited while the work is completed,” officials said.
“During the upgrade period, the Library will maintain normal hours of operation, visitors can sign up for a new library card, and items can continue to be checked out. The library asks that users return checked out items either before June 20 or after July 20,” they added.
