Subject:Walden Green Phase II, Contra Costa Centre
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Funds are involved. The costs of the project are to be borne by the
Redevelopment Agency and County Park Dedication Fees. Total project budget is
$1,000,000 for improvements, capitalized maintenance funds, preliminary and final
design and construction management.
BACKGROUND:
Walden Green Phase II Project ("Project") expands upon the current Walden Green
Project located along the Iron Horse Corridor in the Contra Costa Centre Redevelopment
Area. The Project runs from Coggins Lane to Mayhew Way, a length of approximately
1/4 mile. As with the Walden Green Phase I Project, Phase II will be designed in
conjunction with a Community Advisory Committee that was authorized by the Board of
Supervisors on March 23, 2010. The design will be consistent with the Iron Horse
Corridor Management Program, the licenses and easements for utilities within the
corridor, and the County contract with the State of California to preserve the corridor for
future transit. The Project includes landscape and trail improvements, including the use of
native and drought resistant plants. The project may also include enhancements to
existing Walden Green.
The Project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines.
