There is no deal about what can happen to the library park.
This is one reason why there was no major advance to share exactly what could happen.
Nevertheless, the city has a conceptual plan about what it is negotiating with a private concern that wants to rent the library park.
The basic points:
*None of the existing parking features should currently be moved or postponed.
*Up to 23 renovated containers, which essentially like inpatient food trucks with order windows would work with the possibility, could actually be a few locations.
*The Stub section of the Poplar Avenue west of the library is closed.
*Seventeen The food containers would be between the Center Street and the southern end of the Poplar Avenue. Twelve would go where the grass area with the other five is located along the east side of the street.
*The remaining street area would be a kind of promenade.
*Three food containers would be placed near the playground and back to Manteca Avenue.
*The other three food containers would be near the water and the bike path.
*The entire park (with the exception of the parking lot and the library) would be fenced with decorative wrought -iron fence.
*Separate dog parks for large and small dogs would be added near the Tidewater bike path and the interactive water.
*The private concern of the property can program entertainment such as live music and the like with the pavilion and amphitheater seating area together with a grassy hill and a nearby grass so that people can use ceilings or garden chairs.
*If the food court is closed, the gates would be secured. This means that the park is opened at its present time from 8 p.m. according to the rules of the city until the Food Court closes.
*Tables and chairs for the outdoor area would be available.
*The orientation of the majority of the food containers towards Center Street uses the parking of Street facts.
The vision is that customers buy food to eat or go in the park.
Events and such would be programmed to gain people in the park and the eating opportunities.
City leaders emphasized that this is the basic concept.
If a final deal is completed, the concept could be optimized.
Further details such as the length of the rental agreement and the price are still being negotiated.
The forging iron fence, if the Food Court stops working at some point, would stay in place and belong to the city.
