Parks and Recreation Richmond General Plan 2030 Community Vision Richmond, California in 2030 10 Parks and Recreation Richmond General Plan 2030 Community Vision Richmond, California in 2030 Richmond’s parks, public plazas and open spaces create a strong sense of community identity, promote health and wellness, and protect historical and cultural amenities that are part of the City’s legacy. A variety of recreational programs and enrichment opportunities support the needs and interests of community members of all ages, incomes and abilities. Programs are acces- sible via public transit and pedestrian and bicycle routes that link schools and neighbor- hoods to program destinations. Richmond’s integrated system of parks provides public access to the San Pablo Peninsula, large-scale open spaces, neighborhoods, schools, urban parks, recreational facilities and other key destinations. Safe, park-like connections along restored creek channels, pedes- trian-friendly green streets and multi-use trails encourage walking and bicycling. Some parks, plazas and open spaces are located near civic and commercial areas. Each park in the City features distinctive components such as rich landscape elements and pub- lic art that respond to Richmond’s cultural values and history. Adults and children benefit from contact with nature in the urban context through unstructured natural play settings and walking paths. 10 Parks and Recreation Richmond residents recognize the importance spaces and community facilities linked together of high-quality parks and recreation facilities. via green multimodal corridors; Richmond’s parks, natural areas and recreational • Highlights key findings and recommendations programs are integral to creating a community that based on an existing conditions analysis; is socially and physically connected.

Approximately 5,718.5 acres of the parkland are owned and operated by regional agencies and are located along the shoreline and in the East Bay hills.

    Mayor and Members of the City Council: This is the report for the week ending June 2, 2017. 1. Meeting Notes The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 6th, beginning with Closed Session at 5:00 PM, followed by the regular meeting at 6:30 PM. The agenda may be found by clicking this link: Richmond City Council Agenda Packet. 2. Osprey Update As you may recall, the Golden Gate Audubon Society has been undertaking a contest to provide names for the osprey offspring of Richmond and Rosie. They received more than 300 name suggestions for the chicks, and asked people to vote to select from among the finalists. Cindy Margulis of the Audubon Society reports that the votes are in and that the chicks now have official names. Whirley is the older chick, hatched on May 12th, and Rivet is the younger chick, hatched on May 14th, Mother's Day. Richmond Port Director Jim Matzorkis was the contest winner, being the first person to suggest the name Whirley, which was overwhelmingly the most popular name from the top 10 choices. According to Ms. Margulis: Personally, I'm delighted that the names again harken to outstanding assets that make Richmond such a great city! Now, there's one intrepid "whirley bird" plus that darling younger chick who will keep us all firmly riveted to the future of these birds and our shared environment and shared duty to be good stewards of our magnificent Bay and its watersheds and habitats for birds and people. 1 Whirley and Rivet enjoying some sunshine in their nest.

  • Chapter 4.4 Cultural Resources
    Section 4.4 Cultural Resources 4.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES 4.4.1 Introduction This section presents information on known and potentially existing cultural resources at the RBC site and analyzes the potential for development under the proposed 2014 LRDP to affect those resources. Information and analysis in this section is based on previous archaeological surveys (see Section 4.4.5) and those conducted for the current project: Cultural Resources Inventory Report for the Richmond Bay Campus, Alameda County (GANDA 2013) and Historic Properties Survey Report for Richmond Bay Campus (Tetra Tech 2013). Cultural resources can be prehistoric, Native American, or historic. Prehistoric resources are artifacts from human activities that predate written records; these are generally identified in isolated finds or sites. Prehistoric resources are typically archaeological and can include village sites, temporary camps, lithic scatters, roasting pits/hearths, milling features, petroglyphs, rock features, and burial plots. Historic resources are properties, structures, or built items from human activities that coincide with the epoch of written records. Historic resources can include archaeological remains and architectural structures. Historic archaeological sites include townsites, homesteads, agricultural or ranching features, mining-related features, refuse concentrations, and features or artifacts associated with early military and industrial land uses. Historic architectural resources can include houses, cabins, barns, lighthouses, other constructed buildings, and bridges. Generally, architectural resources that are over 50 years old are considered for evaluation for their historic significance. Public and agency NOP comments related to cultural resources are summarized below: For construction activities proposed in a state right-of-way, Caltrans requires that project environmental documentation include results of a current Northwest Information Center archaeological records search.

In 2016, the Presidio Trust celebrated the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act alongside the nation’s preservation community with a sense of reflection, gratitude and forward-looking purpose. We were also pleased to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the National Park Service, and thank our partners for their trailblazing role in preserving American cultural heritage here in California and beyond. Our principal activity for recognizing these milestones was to host the 41st annual California Preservation Foundation conference at the Presidio in April. At the conference we were enormously proud to be recognized by CPF president Kelly Sutherlin McLeod as “perhaps the biggest preservation success story of the 20th century”, praise that would not be possible without the contributions of our partner agencies, tenants and park users.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).
