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 Qzol 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 Parr 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.
