Lower Presidio Trail and Pedestrian Bridge

Lower Presidio Trail and Pedestrian Bridge

The City of Monterey proposes to construct an asphalt concrete (AC) pedestrian trail linking Van Buren Street to Pacific Street and an AC pedestrian trail bridge linking Van Buren Street to Artillery Street and the Presidio of Monterey. The proposed trail begins at the terminus of Van Buren Street and continues north for approximately 82 feet (25 meters) before the trail splits, with one trail continuing north toward Artillery Street for approximately 246 feet (75 meters). In two locations near the split in the trail, the proposed trail passes over gullied channels that carry runoff from Van Buren Street to the seasonal creek. Culverts are proposed to be placed under the trails in these locations to carry the runoff. A 50-foot (15-meter) pedestrian bridge with concrete abutments is proposed on the northerly trail, which would cross over the seasonal creek approximately 20 feet (meters) south of Artillery Street. The U.S. Army has filed an Environmental Assessment Finding of No Significant Impact (June 1996) and Section 106 clearance to address the portion of the project site owned by the federal government. The City of Monterey is filing this initial study for the entire project area.
