"Commissioner Jeff Greenfield made a handful of suggestions for bike paths throughout the plans for the new community center, but needed more clarity regarding the meandering bicycle and pedestrian paths and whether they would conflict with the seating for the amphitheater. "Bikes and pedestrians, they want to go the shortest route," Greenfield said at the Sept. 23 meeting, suggesting that some of the meandering paths, as he put it, could be reduced to make clearer-cut paths and increase the green space."
"Greenfield also suggested that there be covered paths specifically for bikes and pedestrians in the parking area, so if it is raining, they will be able to stay out of the rain, similar to the covered breezeways at the current community center. The project has been revised after a recent community meeting to have a recreation and wellness center, performing arts, visual arts, community services and a new theater, according to Amanda Deml, assistant director of community services."
Palo Alto intends to rebuild the Cubberley Community Center at 4000 Middlefield Road with a performing arts studio, sports facilities, a pool, and expanded community services. Commissioners suggested improving bicycle and pedestrian pathways to reduce meandering routes and avoid conflicts with amphitheater seating. Commissioners recommended designing clearer-cut paths and covered breezeways in parking areas to shelter cyclists and pedestrians from rain. The project was revised after a community meeting to include a recreation and wellness center, performing and visual arts spaces, community services, and a new theater. No vote occurred at the Sept. 23 meeting; commissioners provided feedback.
