Flood Control Project, North Richmond area.
Contra Costa County,the City of Richmond, and Caltrans have collectively worked toward
the completion of Route 93 (the Richmond Parkway).
Units 2 and 3 of Route 93, which are currently under construction, cross Wildcat Creek
near Garden Tract Road and Pittsburg Avenue impairing direct access to the shoreline
by citizens of Contra Costa County.
On February 18, 1985 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 85/87 supporting
efforts to secure funding for creek enhancement and recreational facility work for the
Wildcat-San Pablo Creeks Project.
The development of the Wildcat Creek Trail (Trail) along the Wildcat Creek Flood Control
Project in the North Richmond area, which has long been a goal of this County, will create
opportunities for recreation, will promote recreational and commuter biking, and will
enhance the environment.
The three-phased construction of the Trail will be jointly funded by East Bay Regional
Park District (EBRPD) and the Corps of Engineers (Corps), with operation and
maintenance by EBRPD.
The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (Proposition 111) was
established to provide funding for grants to Federal, State, and Local agencies to mitigate
environmental impacts of new or modified public transportation facilities.
EBRPD is applying to the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program for a grant
of $450,000 to help meet its financial commitment to construct Phase I and a portion of
Phase II of the Trail.
Financial assistance from this enhancement program to construct the Trail will provide an
excellent opportunity for the California Transportation Commission to further mitigate the
environmental impact of the Richmond Parkway.

by EBRPD for funds from the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program
Proposition 111) to help finance,the Wildcat Creek Trail.
