Is there still going to be a dog park? Is it going to be fenced?" <br />Just curious, <br />Zak Perkerewicz <br />G. Internal Review <br />The draft plan received the following comments from Public Works staff: <br />• Maintenance access was desired in the form of a reinforced turf or gravel drive in two <br />locations. First, into the dog off leash area at the southwest corner of the park, and <br />second, to the open waterway at the northwest corner of the park. (The plan was <br />amended to reflect reinforced turf access at both points.) <br />• The draft plan had depicted a hard surface walk with an adjacent bark jogging path <br />around the open turf field. Staff was concerned about the likelihood of people turning <br />their ankles on the edge of the hard path. (This combination path was eliminated and a <br />common pathway shown on the plan. The new pathway will need to be constructed of a <br />material suitable for wheelchairs and for jogging. A product called `Asphalt Rubber ; <br />used for track surfaces, is a strong candidate to satisfy this requirement.) <br />• The draft plan had showed street trees located in a 6' wide planting strip along Welcome <br />Way and Throne Drive. Staff encouraged having more room for street trees and a better <br />arrangement for mowing the turf between the trees. (In order to accommodate larger <br />street trees, group plantings of street trees and larger turf areas between the trees the <br />planting strip was increased to 10' wide. The-8'-vide-sidewalk has several meanders <br />allowing large street tree groupings along Throne Drive and some smaller groups <br />along Welcome Way. Turf areas between the street trees groups are larger allowing for <br />easier mowing. ) <br />On June 14, 2004 staffpresented the Final Park Design for Candlelight Park to the Human <br />Rights Commission Accessibility Committee. The following viewpoints were expressed: <br />Concern was raised that the estimated 45 curb side parking spaces adjacent to the park <br />may not be enough if the sports field is programmed for organized play.
