Alta Vista Sound Study
The pickleball sound study was completed at Alta Vista on Wednesday, June 11. The study included a full 24-hour monitoring for ambient testing as well as multiple receptors surrounding the park. Testing was completed on tennis courts 7 and 8 to determine whether sound impacts differed based on the specific court. Staff is awaiting the final report, which will be shared with the Community Development Department to review and provide the CEQA determination.
Alta Vista Speed Table and Speed Cushion
Installation of these traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures has commenced. Full completion of these measures should take place soon.
Public Use of RBUSD Green Space and Playgrounds
At the Commission’s June meeting, it requested an update to the City’s efforts to arrange the public’s use of RBUSD playgrounds and green space. This item is part of ongoing discussions with members of the City Council and RBUSD school board. No definitive update is available at this time.
E-Bikes in Dale Page Park
Staff has had ongoing discussions with the Public Works and Police Department teams to determine whether signage or ground-level paint would help to deter E-bikes from being used unsafely in the pathways of Dale Page Park. Discussions and brainstorming are ongoing.
Riviera Village Park Plaque
In November, 2024, the Commission approved the proposed special donation from the Vilarino family at Riviera Village Park, which included a commemorative plaque and miniature olive tree. Commissioner Lang was selected to work with the Vilarino family to refine the language on the plague. Staff is reviewing the final proposed language and will have an update to the Commission regarding this project at its August meeting.
