CIT _ OF SAN BERNARDI~..J - REQUEl~. FOR COUNCIL ACT ,-.iN
AUTHORIZATION TO NOMINATE A CONSTRUCTION STAFF REPORT
PROJECT FOR SECCOMBE LAKE SURA FOR
FUNDING OUT OF THE STATE PARKS
DISCRETIONARY FUND.
Construction projects may be nominated to the State Parks and Recreation Commission
which will in turn be nominated for study by the State Department of Parks and Rec-
reation for funding out of State Park Discretionary Funds provided by Proposition 70.
The project to be nominated by this department is for improvement of walkways in
Seccombe Lake State Urban Recreation Area. When the park was constructed, the design
called for walkways filled with decomposed granite (D.G.). Since the park has been
operated for more than two years, it has been found that the walkways are a constant
maintenance problem and a muddy inconvenience as well as lacking in appearance. The
walkways are continually washing out and becoming muddy during rain and during normal
irrigation periods. Visitors to the park are not able to walk on these paths because
of the muddy condition, particularly immediately after irrigation periods.
The need is to replace the D.G. paths with concrete walkways. The next phase of
construction on the northend of the park has been designed with concrete walkways
because of experience with the first phase construction. Replacing the D.G. paths
in the completed areas with concrete will maintain continuity throughout the park
and provide a much safer and more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the park
as well as providing for better maintenance.
