 2. Park District - Tiffani Picco

 Picco distributed pictures of the area west of the Visitors Center and of the
 fencing along the property line at the Grand Pavilion parking lot. She noted
 that staff has taken the first steps of making the area near the Visitors
 Center safer by removing a lot of the overgrown shrubs and will turf over for
 the time being until the project is addressed as part of the Riverwalk 2031
 Master Plan. She reported that the split rail fencing along the Grand
 Pavilion parking lot has several sections that are falling apart and are in
 need of repair. Discussion followed on past conversations regarding
 replacing or removing the fencing that is on City property. Erickson
 inquired if adjacent property owners should be notified of the intent to
 remove the fencing as a courtesy. Existing vegetation was discussed
 along with the potential to review the landscaping in greater detail when the
 Grand Pavilion is redeveloped as part of the Master Plan. Picco will have
 staff begin removing the deteriorated sections.

 Novack received a request regarding the lettering being difficult to read on
 the granite stones located around the Exchange Club Memories Fountain
 at Fredenhagen Park. Discussion followed on steps that were taken back
 in 2014 with Park District staff purchasing litho paint, cleaning the stones,
 and having someone touch up the lettering. Picco advised that this would
 be included in next year’s schedule.
 3. South Gateway Preliminary Design - Brian Dusak

 Dusak and Peterson reviewed and discussed the updated preliminary
 plans with the group, noting minor changes made to the concept alignment,
 the selective tree removal on the south end, moving the alignment closer to
 Washington Street near Hillside Road, the multiuse path, relocating the
 Park District’s digital sign, the retaining wall height, placement of benches
 and lighting. Discussion followed on the materials for the multiuse path
 which will have a total width of 10.5' with 2.5' consisting of pavers that will
 be placed on a concrete foundation. Motta offered assistance with
 shoreline stabilization. Dusak noted they will provide visuals as they
 continue to fine tune and move closer to final engineering. Discussion
 followed on the branding of the Riverwalk signage and the Naperville
 wayfinding signs. The involvement of the City, the Downtown Naperville
 Alliance (DNA), and the Downtown Advisory Committee (DAC) was
 discussed and it was noted that Bartlett could represent the branding
 elements of the signage with the DNA. Novack will provide the latest report
 on signage with the group at next month’s meeting. Friant will work on
 setting up another meeting with Edward Hospital.
