Interim Scope of Work For Introduction The City of San Bruno is in the process of developing its first comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle plan—a project referred to for public-outreach purposes as the Walk ‘n Bike Plan. The primary goal of the plan is to make walking and biking in San Bruno safer and easier for both transportation and recreation. Prepared by | Letunic Eisen Prepared Toward this end, the plan will recommend a | feasible, realistic program of pedestrian and bicycle improvements throughout the city for Conditions the next ten years. The first task in the planning process for the Walk ‘n Bike Plan consisted of initial outreach to the community to introduce the project and encourage the public to get involved in the process. The second task was an “existing January 2016 conditions inventory.” This task consisted of surveying local conditions and | issues relevant to walking and biking such as the key destinations for pedestrians and cyclists in San Bruno; the city’s street network; existing Plan pedestrian and bicycle facilities; data on commuting and on traffic collisions; Existing ongoing activities and events to support walking and biking; integration with other forms of transportation; and other relevant or related planning efforts. (key physical conditions, denoted throughout the text in blue, are shown on the two maps, on pages 5 and 8). This briefing paper presents the results of, and key findings from, the inventory. Walk ‘n Bike The existing conditions A note about capitalization: In lower inventory establishes the Bruno case, “city” refers to the geographic area of local context surrounding non-motorized San San San Bruno and to its community; in upper case, “City” refers to the government entity transportation and provides that administers the area of San Bruno. the consultants and City staff with initial insights into the walking and bicycling experience in San Bruno. As such, this inventory provides the context for understanding and making sense of the subsequent task in the planning process: the needs assessment. Relying heavily on input from the public and key stakeholders, that assessment will consider the needs and concerns of local pedestrians and cyclists; the challenges and obstacles to walking and biking in San Bruno; and ideas, suggestions and opportunities to improve conditions.

    4.7 Cultural Resources 4.7 Cultural4.7 4. WSIP Facility Projects – Setting and Impacts 4.7 Cultural Resources Cultural resources include paleontological resources, archaeological resources, historical resources, and human remains. This section provides a program-level assessment of potential WSIP impacts on historical, paleontological, or archaeological resources that might be present in the vicinity of the WSIP projects and/or historic water system facilities. Programmatic mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate potentially significant impacts on these cultural resources are identified in this section and presented in detail in Chapter 6. This analysis does not identify specific cultural resources at each of the 22 WSIP facility project sites, although some previously identified cultural resources are located at or near those project sites. Site-specific analysis will be conducted as part of separate, project-level CEQA review for individual WSIP projects. 4.7.1 Setting and Resource Types Paleontological Setting Paleontological resources within the WSIP study area consist of the fossilized remains of plants and animals, including vertebrates (animals with backbones) and invertebrates (e.g., starfish, clams, ammonites, and coral marine). Fossils of microscopic plants and animals, or microfossils, are also considered in this analysis. The age and abundance of fossils depend on the location, topographic setting, and particular geologic formation in which they are found. The geologic formations containing the majority of fossils in the WSIP study area are considered geologically young; the oldest fossil-bearing formation dates to the Paleocene epoch (65 million years old). Most of the fossil-bearing geologic units in the WSIP study area were formed in ancient marine environments such as inland embayments, coastal areas, and extensive inland seas.

WSIP Facility Projects – Setting and Impacts 4.12 Recreational Resources 4.12.1 Setting Regional Overview This section provides an overview of the distribution and type of park and recreational facilities within the WSIP study area (which extends from Oakdale Portal on the SFPUC regional water system in western Tuolumne County, west to San Francisco) and describes the specific recreational facilities that lie in the immediate vicinity of WSIP projects. This section also identifies goals and policies aimed at protecting and enhancing recreational resources (including parks and recreational facilities) that have been adopted by the local jurisdictions in which portions of the WSIP projects would be located. (Chapter 5, WSIP Water Supply and System Operations, describes recreation areas, facilities, and activities east of the WSIP study area in the Tuolumne River system and the eastern end of the SFPUC regional water system.) There is a wide variety of recreational resources in the region, from small neighborhood parks designed for local residents to large regional parks that attract tourists from across the nation or around the world. Recreational resources also include formally designated parks and trails, open spaces where dispersed activities such as hiking and bird watching can take place, as well as bodies of water where boating, fishing, or swimming can be enjoyed. The WSIP study area also includes regional amenities such as San Francisco Bay and the Bay Trail, and numerous parks and recreational facilities managed by local jurisdictions, including cities, counties, and special park and open space districts.

  • San Mateo County Parks Vegetation Resources
    San Mateo County Parks Vegetation Resources Prepared for County of San Mateo Environmental Services Agency Parks & Recreation Division by Rana Creek Habitat Restoration March 2002 SAN MATEO COUNTY PARKS VEGETATION RESOURCES 1 1. INTRODUCTION The San Mateo County Department of Parks and Recreation operates seventeen parks in San Mateo County. These parks contain a diverse group of plant communities, reflecting the wide variation in elevation, marine influence, soils, and other environmental factors across the San Francisco Peninsula as well as differences in land use and fire history. Several plant communities within the parks are rare in California, including coastal salt marsh, serpentine bunchgrass grassland, coastal prairie, and maritime chaparral. In addition, many of the parks provide habitat for rare species, including eight Federally Endangered and seven Federally Threatened plants and animals known to occur within the park system. The purpose of this document is to summarize and update available vegetation information for thirteen County parks. This task includes: 1) classifying and mapping plant communities; 2) assessing the condition of the vegetation; 3) mapping non-native plant infestations; and 4) mapping known locations of sensitive and endangered plant and animal species. The vegetation maps and plant community descriptions herein will provide the foundation for a Vegetation Management Plan. The Vegetation Management Plan, in turn, will establish vegetation management objectives, develop Best Management Practices, and identify opportunities for pilot projects, collaborative projects, and community involvement. The thirteen parks described in this document are listed below. Pescadero Creek, Sam MacDonald, and Memorial Parks are treated as a single park complex. Coyote Point Recreation Area Memorial Park Crystal Springs Park Pescadero Creek Park Edgewood Preserve Sam McDonald Park Fitzgerald Marine Reserve San Bruno Mountain State and County Park Flood Park San Pedro Park Huddart Park Wunderlich Park Junipero Serra Park 2.

The impact section (Section 5.5.1.2) provides a description of the changes in stream flow and reservoir water levels that would result from implementation of the WSIP. 5.5.1.1 Setting The SFPUC operates four water supply reservoirs on the San Francisco Peninsula: Pilarcitos, Upper and Lower Crystal Springs, and San Andreas Reservoirs. The Spring Valley Water Company built the reservoirs between 1864 and 1890. The four reservoirs and two streams (San Mateo Creek and Pilarcitos Creek) on the Peninsula could be affected by the WSIP. San Mateo Creek, and its tributary San Andreas Creek, flow southward in the rift valley formed by the San Andreas fault and then turn east, flowing to San Francisco Bay. Pilarcitos Creek also flows southward, but it turns to the west and flows to the Pacific Ocean. Figure 5.5.1-1 shows the boundaries of the drainage areas of the four Peninsula reservoirs, and Figure 5.5.1-2 shows the SFPUC regional facilities associated with these reservoirs.
