As the various project elements advance it is important to recognize the interdependencies that exist and are necessary to meet the timeline. Each workplan step is intentionally designed to inform the next – input and data received during the previous and current master planning efforts inform the polling themes and questions, while poll results will inform the concept plans for a new community center at the Cubberley site. Given the constrained timeline and resources needed to complete multiple and complex bodies of work, it is important to maintain focus on the critical path to ensure milestones are met. The milestones listed below are necessary to complete the master plan and draft a potential ordinance by Spring 2026 to reach the November 2026 ballot.
