PAGE: 1 of 1
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Due to landslides in the early 1980s the Board of Supervisors closed Carquinez Scenic Drive
from the Ozol Fuel Facility (owned by the United States of America) to the Contra Costa Brick
Works Plant. The Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline Park abuts both sides of the Carquinez
Scenic Drive from the Martinez Cemetery to the Ozol Fuel Facility. Nighttime activities along
the road generate refuse, trash, and human waste. The East Bay Regional Park District has
requested permission to install a gate at the Martinez City Limit and permission to close the gate
at sunset and open it in the morning. The County Public Works Department supports the Park
District's request and recommends that the Board of Supervisors support the Park District's
request.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The East Bay Regional Park District would not be able to close the road at night and the
nighttime activities that are occurring along the road would continue.
