Document Description
Improve a portion of the Crown Cove trail system on the Bay side of Silver Strand State Beach to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. The existing surface is mostly a very soft sand material, which does not meet the Federal Access Boards guidelines for a firm and stable surface required for accessible trails. This project will include the placement of stabilized aggregate material within the existing trail bed of 725 linear feet of existing trail to a depth of 4" to 6". A new portion of trail totaling approximately 140 linear feet will be constructed, also with 4" to 6" deep of stabilized aggregate, to connect the existing trail to the exterior loop trail. Mitigation for the new trail extension segment will be to abandon and lightly scarify 4,560 sf of existing trail, which currently bisects an improving coastal plant community. Scarification will take place on nonvegetated areas only. The imported aggregate mateial may be retained by 4" by 4" wood timbers or by excavation of existing soil within the trail bed. The width of the trail surface will be 36" with one passing area measuring 60" x 60". Additional surface maintenance of 5,200 sf will be conducted on the existing exterior loop trail where soft surface conditions exist.
