TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
Costa
DATE: March 28, 1989 County
SUBJECT: DIRECT. THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT-TO SERVE AS LEAD
AGENCY IN TRAIL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Direct the Community Development
Department to serve as the lead agency in the trail implementation
plan to work cooperatively with other jurisdictions .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I provided the attached report last
Tuesday, March 21, regarding the opportunity available to us now to
implement a trail system linking East County together and joining it
with the Central Contra Costa trail system.
A related issue is the Board of Supevisor's MOU with the
Navy on the closure of the Port Chicago Highway. The long and hard
process of negotiation that we have been a part of and that I have
been particularly active in has added millions to the final mitigation
agreement. Of the $5 million that will be available in the next
12 to 18 months from Congress and the Navy about $1 . 2 million is
preliminarily allocated for a non-motorized vehicle bikeway/trailway
to link West Pittsburg to North Concord.
In addition, if the Ambrose Recreation and Park District and
the City of Concord could each loan $10,000 to this planning and
engineering effort (repayble through the Navy fund later) , it is
likely that the East Bay Regional Park District Board would be a
willing co-funding partner ($10,000) .
Since the county will be doing a comprehensive, consolidated
General Plan for the remaining undeveloped properties in the Evora
Road corridor--as well as a $50,000 Evora Road final alignment plan
with an engineering and financing/implementation schedule--it is
timely to complete the trail link implementation plan. This plan
would develop preparations to the point that the Navy mitigation funds
could go directly and immediately to work building that trail !
