  • Part 4 (PDF, 793K)
    Project Description 4. PROJECT PHASING Currently, funding from an Urban Parks Act Grant in the amount of $3,000,000 has been secured for the project. The East Bay Regional Parks District, in cooperation with the parties to the JPA, has also applied for a California Youth Soccer grant, a Healthy Communities Grant and a Land and Water Conservation Grant, all of which are pending, but have not been awarded. Therefore, since not all of the capital funds needed for the full project are currently available, the project has been designed so that it can be built in two phases. Phase I would involve the construction of the two soccer fields and parking lot adjacent to Gilman Street as well as the installation of the basic drainage and utility systems needed for the full project. See Figure 9. Phase II would involve the construction of the grass fields, the irrigation systems, the remaining parking lot, the tot‐lot, the field house and the rest of the lighting systems. The Phasing Plan has been designed so that the soccer fields could be placed in use after completion, whether or not construction funds are available for the Phase II facilities. As noted above, the grading work would be phased, beginning with the base for the soccer fields, drainage spine and Gilman Street parking area. Final grading for the remainder of the project could be postponed for months or years, depending on the availability of funds for development of Phase II. As noted, the grading plan anticipates that as much as 14,000 cubic yards of soil will have to be stockpiled on site between and second phases of construction.

  • The Bay Shore Then and Now
    Restoring and Protecting Nature in the Eastshore State Park Susan Schwartz, Friends of Five Creeks As the glaciers of the last Ice Age melted, some 8000 years ago, the rising Pacific gradually drowned the huge river that had poured through the Golden Gate toward the Farallons. With Native Americans there to watch, valleys became San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays. Peaks of a range of hills older and west of today’s East Bay hills were left as islands – Albany Hill, Fleming Point, Pt. Isabel, Brooks Island, the Potrero Hills. From the still-rising hills of today, creeks carried soil and eroding rock to changing shoreline, while currents swept sand and mud from the Sacramento River along the shore. Together, these formed today’s “flatlands” as wet, grassy meadows. Opposite the Golden Gate, strong tidal currents swept away mud, leaving the heavier sand particles. A beach and low dunes thus formed a golden crescent along the shore from about today’s Virginia Street to the sandstone bluff at Fleming Point. North of that, a shallow inlet lapped the west edge of Albany Hill. Behind the sandy beach, Schoolhouse, Codornices, and Marin Creeks flowed into a tidal slough that wandered north behind the hill at Fleming Point. Creek mouths north and south of these – Strawberry and Cerrito Creeks – reached the Bay. At those two creek outlets, debris from thousands of years of Indian habitation formed large shell mounds. The map at right shows the original shoreline (dark and shaded) and the shoreline today. Settlers dredged the sand, bulldozed the shellmounds, and filled the Bay westward with garbage, construction debris, and mud from dredging projects.
