FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be a reduction in the costs of removingrefuse and trash from the road.
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 or 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. On November 20, 2004, Traffic Resolution No. 2004/4093 was
adopted, which gave the East Bay Regional Park District permission from the County to close the
road overnight,to install a gate, and to close the gate daily from sunset to sunrise the following day.'
On December 19, 2006 Traffic Resolution No. 2006/4189 was adopted, which gave the East Bay
Regional Park District permission to close the road overnight for an additional 18 months.
The County Public Works Department supports the Park District's request to extend the closure for
an additional 18 months and recommends that the Board of Supervisors support the Park District's
request and that they approve Traffic Resolution No. 2008/4266.
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.
