Site design will incorporate best management practices for stormwater managernent, including capturing and treating on site run off in retention areas and bioswales,and using perrneable paving as possible:and practical to rninirnize runoff. l he(try creek bed envisioned as a focal pont within the"eco canyon"area will serve both as an interpretive area,and function as a stormwater management area when the site is wet. Planting will complement and evoke the natural setting of the site by feata)rIng native and draught tolerant local plant materials. City of Rancho Palos Verdes,Stcrterrrent of Quolification.

This will ensure full access for all park visitors to the beautiful sea views offered by the bluff top coastal access Abalone Cove provides. Once the trails were laid out, educational elements, including an outdoor classroorn and fossilized digs,were placed along the new trail system. During the school year,Abalone Cove Shoreline Park is utilized by surrounding schools for educational and recreational purposes. Year round it is used by visitors for picnicking and as a jumping off paint for coastal hikes. By providing gathering areas for outdoor education,seating, picnic tables for public gatherings,trash receptacles,and paths for mobility, Park users will have many more amenities and more comfortable and lnformative visits without having a large impact on the surrounding Preserve land, In order to maintain compatibility with the Nature Preserve,the landscape along the trail syasteni has'incorporated regionally specific California native plants that are appropriate in this setting and will not result in any negative irnpacts. The landscape will provide a secondary use by educating the visiting public about the types and characteristics of the native plants being used, While not a demonstration garden, the landscape is intended to encourage residents to think about using native plants in their own gardens, and what to expect when doing so. t City of Rancho Palos Veaaes,-Sloleilent of Ou alifi`cations-Relevant P"ojects' 7 H-85 H, 6 -0 ap BW")y Palk IMc:��Stc"'! 1"lan Update Project Details Owner 2nd Council District,City of Long Beach Rixlrrq' rlatk is a hisiotic rlc,ighkwihood park k,,�cated in the Sucond Council Project Size 163 Acres DiMiict M the City or Lont'beach, Dvldcd Unto four paitcels by cross Completion Date In Progress strccLsthis 16,7 acite pa6i is well iiisod by many vlsiloi,s. llo%vevc�,,often years,ohitensive use, Wls comrY1U1)i1N1 aISSU't is in i of cruc and tO C'ISLHT' its thlives vveH into the furme. Problems Such as public safety and wain out park facilities needed to be addressed, hence, the focus on updating the 1998 Bixby Park Master Plan. Working with the Council Office and the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Marine, Mel6ndrez engaged community stakeholders in order to develop a new master plan to address the community's needs. Due to the diversity of park users, Mel6ndrez used several methods to engage and educate the public.Three interactive public workshops were held to understand the community's visions and goals,to garnet feedback on vision and issues,the design concepts,and to have discussions regarding the implementation and phasing of the Master Plan,An online survey that evolved over time as the project progressed,was also created to gather feedback from stakeholders who could not attend the workshops, Nearly 200 people took the Survey,The teani also recruited student volunteers to conduct an on the ground Public Space Survey,This is an analysis tool to observe and record where people move and congregate,and how people use Bixby Park throughout an average day.All of these inethods helped inform and guide the development of the new, master plan. Based on community feedback and data collected by the team,some of the design components of the Master Plan include:a better pathway network, reestablishing a historic spine through the center of the park, updating and modernizing existing li facilities,and introducing a running track with fitness stations that connects to the beach.The team also identified opportunities to reclaim park space by closing down a low-volume street through it,1 his potential gain in parkland Could provide space for an on-site permeably paved parking lot,flex space for programming, and provide space for a larger, nature themed playground.A palette of appropriate park furnishings, landscaping, and programming were also identified it)the Master ['ran process. . ;r.

Neighborhoods within Sari Completion Date Expected 2014 Pedro are considered to be at a disadvantage,with median household incomes below$28,000.There is also a lack of open space for the community as a whole with only 0.12 acres of open space per 1,000 residents.With major investments occurring along the waterfront and within Downtown Sari Pe dlo itself,there is a call to link'the surrounding neighborhoods to these future key destinations, The Sari Pedro Green Outlets and Pathways project envisions using various urban greening techniques to link the community together, Meldndrez is crafting the Careen Outlets and Pathways Plan that lays out a vision for a network of greened and"complete”streets and spaces,connecting to key destinations downtown and along the waterfront to new open areas and reclaimed green spaces. Greening strategies may include native and adaptive planting, bioswales and stormwa'ter retention, management,and filtration, passive strategies for solar and power,strategies to encourage fitness and use of alternative transportation, community gardens and green learning spaces and walking areas,and landscape restoration. Conirrirmity engagement is an integral part of the project,with several community advisory committee meetings,public workshops,and open houses. In order to identify appropriatepathways and outlets, Meleridrez is analyzing the study area using GIS data to create a framework to quantify this assessment. and preparing an online survey to broaden the reach of the community engagement. The team is assisting with an urban greening"Best Practices" analysis and developing a set of urban greening typologies that can be applied to Sari Pedro to realize the visions in the Green Outlets and Pathways Plan.
