DESCRIPTION In order to complete the design of the San Ramon Road
widening project ( I-580 to Silvergate Drive ) and Village Parkway median
project ( Amador Valley Boulevard north) , direction from the City Council is
required relating to conceptual landscaping plans .
The proposals developed include the following elements :
1 . Village Parkway
a . The east side of the street be planted with street trees , bushes
and vines similar to those being planted along the west side of
the street .
b . The median treatment is proposed to be somewhat less formal than
the downtown area in as much as the area is more residential in
nature and there is more room in the medians for substantial
landscaping. The left turn bays are proposed to be similar to
others approved using interlocking paving stones with tree
cutouts . The wider areas will be outlined by paving bricks with
large trees regularly spaced over a large slightly mounded
planter. The planter area would have either ground cover or
grass . At street light locations , the surface would be the
interlocking paving stones with several cutouts for smaller trees .
2 . San Ramon Road
a. East side (Dublin Boulevard to Martin Canyon Creek) - Landscape
with street treewells placed intermittently along the sidewalk.
b . West side (Dublin Boulevard to Iceland frontage) - Between the
edge of pavement and the bike path - Provide trees and ground
cover.
C . West side (Jeha Center to Silvergate Drive) - This area will be
landscaped by developers fronting San Ramon Road .
d . Median (Dublin Boulevard to Amador Valley Boulevard) -
Establishment of a low raised paver planter similar to the
approved Village Parkway project between Dublin Boulevard and
Amador Valley Boulevard .
e . Medians (Amador Valley Boulevard north) - Design similar to
Village Parkway described above .
f . Down slopes - Large canopy trees mostly evergreen to serve as a
screen, ground coved- on the slope and shrubs along the fences .

g. Up slopes - Large trees tending toward the deciduous type with
bushes and ground cover. Random spacing of trees and use of
groupings of trees .
There are several areas of consideration in determining whether to plant
lawn or ground cover. The aesthetic appearance of grass is a more lush
landscape treatment and complements residential areas . The ground cover is
slightly less expensive to install . The ongoing maintenance costs of ground
cover are approximately 1/3 of those for lawn areas . The cost savings are
partially related to the need for nearly twice the amount of water to
sustain grass areas . Also , they require more frequent maintenance . For
example , the relative annual maintenance costs for the ground cover areas
for Village Parkway from Amador Valley Boulevard north is estimated at
$9 ,000 for ground cover and $25 , 000 for lawn.
Three basic alternatives are offered for each street . The City Council
should consider the alternatives proposed for each street and direct Staff
as appropriate .
Alternative #1 : Utilize ground cover on the center medians .
Alternative #2 : Establish lawn areas on the center medians .
Alternative #3 : Use a combination of lawn and ground cover in the median
landscape design.
The City Council should also provide any other comments or suggestions which .
should be incorporated into the final design.
