BACKGROUND
On March 2, 2009, the City of San Leandro (City) received notice from the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) of its allotment of $3,740,998 in Measure WW Park Bond funds. These bond funds are earmarked for the acquisition and development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation lands and facilities. The City asked residents for their input on how they would like the money spent, and used this information to establish ten priority projects, including the Toyon Park Pathway Rehabilitation project. The poor condition of the asphalt pavement at the City's parks was noted as a feature that the community wanted improved with Measure WW funding.

This project reconstructed the asphalt concrete pathway at Toyon Park. Construction is now complete and was performed in compliance with the contract documents.

To allow for coordination with other projects at Toyon Park, a portion of those funds were separated into Account No. 150-62-115 specifically for paving work at this park. This paving project is the last park to be rehabilitated under the original project appropriation.
