The funds are for <br />the acquisition and development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and <br />recreation lands and facilities. Based on input from City residents, the top ten projects were <br />identified, which included this project. The poor condition of the asphalt pavement, tripping <br />hazards, and deteriorating exercise equipment were noted as features that the community <br />would like to see improved with Measure WW funding. <br />The project reconstructed the asphalt concrete pathways, constructed concrete pads, installed <br />new exercise equipment, and installed new benches at intervals along the par course <br />pathway. Some sections of the path were re- aligned and re- graded to meet Americans with <br />Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and to take advantage of views of the San Francisco Bay and <br />San Leandro Marina. <br />The reconstruction included recycling of the old asphalt by grinding the material and using it <br />as base material under the new asphalt surface. The benefits of recycling included a <br />reduction in the project costs and fewer trips by trucks hauling material to the area. <br />Analysis <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 312712012 <br />
