preparation of a Health Risk Assessment to determine needed remediation measures for implementation. A future planning effort will determine park facilities for this site. In addition to new parks, in the near future the City will open a Community Garden at Val Vista Community Park, and will start on the restoration of the Alviso Adobe. The City will also seek fimds to improve some existing recreational facilities. Drainage improvements at the Sports and Recreation Community Park and at the Upper Pleasanton Field would allow more play in rainy weather. Also, a new toddler pool is planned at the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center. These projects will need to be financed through a variety of sources. Recreational needs in North PIeasanton will be financed through residential park dedication fees, non-residential development projects which are conditioned to mitigate park impacts, and other financing mechanisms. Community parks could be financed partially through dedication of land as part of future developments and partially financed by the City's General Fund. The timing for construction of these facilities is determined by the amount of development and is budgeted each year in two-year increments in the City's Capital Improvement Program. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND CULTURAL ARTS 21 One of Pleasant on's major attractions as a community is the quality and diversity of its community facilities including schools, parks, recreational facilities, and civic buildings. Table VI-6 includes a description of existing community facilities and Figure VI-7 shows facilities locations. Several new community facilities and parks are discussed under the Parks and Recreation section. In recognition of the importance of shared community space, the City has continued to aggressively expand its inventory of community-owned buildings and facilities since the 1996 General Plan. As PIeasanton continues its efforts to expand public facilities, this General Plan will see the completion of the following projects: . Renovation of the Veterans' Memorial Building on Main Street in downtown. This project will preserve the exterior appearance, restore significant interior finishes and features, and will upgrade the facility to current building codes. . Construction of the Firehouse Arts Center on the site of the former Fire Station #1 on Railroad Avenue and consisting of gallery, classroom and theater space. . Downtown restrooms. The City is constructing a public restroom at Delucchi Park that will serve the downtown and the farmers' market. The City is considering adding other public restrooms on Main Street as discussed in its 2003 Downtown Specific Plan. 21 Cultural arts include fme arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, etc.), performing arts (drama, dance and music), technical arts (architecture and graphic arts), and crafts (weaving, pottery, wood carving, glass blowing, knitting, crocheting, embroidering, etc.).
