18709 | 6 -B - Exhibit 3 a.s Great Blue Heron gathering nesting material on west side of Seaplane Lagoon where ecological park is proposed. Blusger: To: Alameda Recreation and Parks Commission Item 6-B, Review and Recommend Park and Recreation Facilities Project Priorities Commission meeting date: December 12, 2019 Members of the Commission: I urge you to place DePave Park at the top of your priority list. DePave Park is unlike other parks projects in that its primary goal is adapting a portion of the Alameda Point shoreline for rising sea level. While there will be a recreational component in the form of public access on trails, its standout feature will be restoration of a tidal ecosystem. It is ideally suited for conversion to a wetland ecology, since it is directly adjacent to an existing wetland on federal property and will create a synergistic upscaling of this wetland zone on the Bay. Furthermore, the vision for DePave Park includes floating wetlands in the Seaplane Lagoon. Floating wetlands will make this project a leading edge adaptation project on San Francisco Bay. While all of the projects on the list are worthy of support, the DePave Park project, as a shoreline restoration project, will not be competing against other City projects on the list for funding. And funding is always the big hurdle for parks projects. For DePave Park, there are many potential sources of funding to conduct the planning and permitting process, as well as the construction phase. Below is a list of potential sources of funding for DePave Park. Base Reuse Fund - City of Alameda Funds accumulated in the Base Reuse Fund from the sale and lease of property at Alameda Point can be utilized for project planning purposes at Alameda Point. |
