REFINEMENTS TO CONCEPTUAL PLAN A
• The Community & Library Services Commission unanimously approved “Conceptual Plan A” as the recommend upgrade for Edison Park
• However, based on additional feedback received from youth sports groups, staff worked with RJM to develop an alternative concept that incorporates additional dedicated soccer space into the concept plan TimelinePurpose Background Outreach Conceptual Plan City Council

OPTION B
•3rd dedicated U10 soccer
field added to the SCE
corridor along Hamilton
Avenue
ADDITIONAL NEIGHBOR CONCERNS RAISED
• In the days after the concept plans for Edison Park were published, staff received feedback from several neighboring residents to Edison Park citing additional concerns:
1. Addition of the 57-space parking stall along Stillwell Drive may result in neighborhood impacts, and the loss of mature trees
2. Sports courts (pickleball, tennis, and basketball) along Magnolia Street would result in the removal of several large eucalyptus trees
3. Full-sized soccer field overlay on softball fields would create a more intense use, and result in the removal of mature trees

CONCERN
CONCERNS ASSESSED, RESPONSE OPTION DEVELOPED
• Proposed parking lot on Stillwell Drive was added based on community feedback, however, the parking facility could be removed
• Staff would assess offsite parking alternatives to address peak park usage times • Given site constraints at Edison Park, and the demand for active recreation components like pickleball, tennis, basketball, and soccer, the removal of trees in select locations will be necessary to meet the community’s needs • Of note, the proposed plan to upgrade Edison Park includes the addition of more than 200 new trees
• Also, if there are particular trees of interest at Edison park, the Public Works team has assessed that tree relocation efforts can be engaged
