It may also be important to keep <br />'language' away from the nearby residential development (as <br />players can become excitable). <br />The site is located within a liquefaction zone. <br />Following our geotechnical investigation with borings to 50' <br />deep, recommendations for the location of park amenities <br />will become more clear and therefore the design will reflect <br />solutions to address any potential challenge (currently <br />unknown). <br />Minimal opportunities for active recreation are available to <br />this community. <br />Access to recreation and fitness in the Cornerstone Village <br />neighborhood will be addressed with the construction of <br />this park which provides something for all ages and is <br />accessible by car, on foot, by nearby bus routes, and by <br />bicycle via the proposed bike lane project. The elimination <br />of a vacant parcel lessens illegal activities and discourages <br />homelessness. <br />Noise around nearby residential units on the north could be <br />a challenge. <br />By placing elements such as the fitness equipment, play <br />area, and picnic area in this proximity, it provides for 'less <br />vocal' uses than the skate park or basketball court and is <br />more conducive to families. It also keeps the children away <br />from the busy street corner. <br />Bike Lane (Future) <br />Pedestrian Access <br />Bus Stop <br />David Evans and Associates, Inc. I June 3, 2021 1 15 <br />
