Document Description
Repair storm damage incurred January 2006 at the Prairie Creek Trail trailhead located at mile marker 129 on the Newton Drury Parkway in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Reconstruct approximately 160 feet of the trail to bring the surface back to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for accessibility. Construct a rock retaining wall (approximately 2 feet high) on both sides of approximately 100 feet of the reconstructed trail in order to support the tread. Construct approximately 60 feet of new trail outside the present alignment, in order to establish an accessible grade. Install a barrier log 80 feet in length alongside the existing parking lot to prevent hikers from cutting the trail. Remove the existing temporary trail and trans-locate its gravel materials to the new trail. Save native plants from the reroute and transplant into the old alignment; revegetate with additional local native species as needed.
