REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 9/19/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS-11-014
Analysis: The city has an opportunity to apply, for a grant from the Statewide Park
Program (Prop 84) to construct an ADA-accessible ramp at LeBard Park to the Santa Ana
River trail as part of the LeBard Park, Phase II project. Phase II of the LeBard Park
Reconfiguration Project includes expansion of turf and additional landscaping and walkways
to the proposed turf area.
LeBard Park is an important element identified in the city's Santa Ana River Blue Ribbon
Committee Report as approved by the City Council in February 2007. One of the objectives
of the Orange Coast River Park (OCRP) Master Plan is to provide ADA access wherever
feasible.
The five-acre LeBard Park site is adjacent to LeBard School and the Santa Ana River. The
existing three acres of developed city park includes traditional neighborhood park amenities
and a public parking lot.
The project scope for this proposed grant funding would provide an ADA approved access
ramp to the Santa Ana River trail as well as the existing pedestrian bridge linking LeBard
Park with Fairview Park in Costa Mesa.
Environmental Status: Necessary environmental review would be completed prior to any
improvements.
Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain and Enhance Public Safety
