RE: Walden Park Improvements: Request for
County Park Dedication Fees
Dear Supervisors:
The City of Walnut Creek respectfully requests that the Board of
Supervisors release to the City $180,000 of County collected Park
Dedication Fees designated for Walnut Creek. At the request of
County and City residents, the City is developing a neighborhood
park that will serve the Walden Road Area. The park site is near
the northerly border of the City and the County.
Walden Park will be developed over several years. The first
phase is an acre park with an estimated cost of $422,000. The
project was recently added to the City's current Capital
Improvement Program. Construction of the park is scheduled for
early Spring. The project is currently in design.
We sincerely appreciate the intergovernmental working
relationship and cooperative attitude demonstrated by Jim
Kennedy, Deputy Director-Redevelopment and Susan J. Griffin,
Chief of Community Development and Housing. Thank you for
considering this request.
Should you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact Kevin Roberts, Community Development Director.
Sincerely,
