Subject:ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/19 vacating a portion of excess County road right of way, Port Costa area.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
County funds have been used to maintain that segment of roadway as a County street. East Bay Regional Park
District (EBRPD) is pursuing its project to convert a segment of Carquinez Scenic Drive into a Class I multi-use
bicycle/pedestrian trail. The County has previously vacated its interest in other sections of Carquinez Scenic Drive
to enable EBRPD to complete its project. EBRPD has requested that the County vacate an approximately
788-linear-foot segment of Carquinez Scenic Drive located southeast of the Contra Costa Brick Works Plant to the
westerly end of the previously vacated segment of the roadway in the Port Costa area. EBRPD owns property on
both sides of this segment of roadway, the boundaries of which extend to the centerline of the roadway.
Public Works Department staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the resolution to vacate the
above-described segment of Carquinez Scenic Drive. Public Works Department staff have concluded that it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant adverse effect on the
environment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would be liable for the above-described section of Carquinez Scenic Drive, which no longer is
required for County street purposes.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
