RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-01-14 | 6 | From: Edward Sinq To: Amy Wooldridge Subject: [EXTERNAL] Cmt on Item 6.b Alameda Rec and Park Commision Mtg 1/14/2021 Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2021 7:43:45 PM Dear Alameda Recreation and Park Commissioner Chair Alexander, Vice Chair Robbins, Commissioners Limoges Barnes and Navarro and Director Wooldridge: This email is in support comments sent to you (see below) by Ms. Patricia Lamborn asking that you give your vote of support a proposed maintenance project of a short reach of the Shoreline Park/ San Francisco Bay Trail . This reach is located bayside of the property at 2350 Harbor Bay Parkway on Bay Farm Island where the trail has not been well maintained, posing a potential safety hazard to those who use it. This reach of the trail was recently the subject of an article in the Community of Harbor Bay Association's magazine, "The Gull's Call" (The Gull's Call - Oct/Nov/Dec : 2020) pointing out the trail on either side of this reach have been fully developed and maintained. As noted by Ms. Lamborn, your support in advancing this proposed project to the Alameda Friends of the Park Foundation, and with the Foundation's support, would lead to a community campaign of donations to complete maintenance of this reach. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. Edward Sing Bay Farm Resident 24 years Email sent by Ms. Patricia Lamborn for Jan 14, 2021 Meeting: Dear Alameda Recreation and Park Commissioner Chair Alexander, Vice Chair Robbins, Commissioners Limoges Barnes and Navarro and Director Wooldridge, I am writing to ask that you support maintenance and improvement of a portion of Shoreline Park/San Francisco Bay Trail located near the physical address 2350 Harbor Bay Parkway. The City of Alameda took title to this Shoreline Park Parcel in Jan. 2019, dedicated to complete the trails that circle Harbor Bay Isle and provide pedestrian and bicycle access right on the Bay. This portion, labeled Parcel 4 - is flanked on either side by wide concrete paths that safely accommodate walkers and bikers. Unfortunately there is an abrupt break and on Parcel 4 there is a ragged narrow asphalt path, with deep furrows in the dirt alongside it. A group of concerned residents requested that the City of Alameda take title to this dedicated portion of the Bay Trail years ago, and continue to support maintaining and respecting the importance of completing the S F Bay Trail here. That is also a goal in the Parks and Open Space Element of the 2040 Alameda General Plan. We ask that you give this maintenance project your vote of support in order to advance it to the Alameda Friends of the Park Foundation. If the foundation supports this project - our group can then advance a community campaign of donations to complete it. We are not asking the Recreation and Park Commission to allocate monies at this time as we know there are many financial pressures on our City. However, we do believe there could be interest in financial support from the Harbor Bay Park Business and Residential Community. Hundreds of | RecreationandParkCommission/2021-01-14.pdf |
