Document Description
The purpose of the proposed project is to repair a landslide on Upper Road West that occurred during the winter of 2016-2017. Upper Road West is an unmaintained road that provides access to the private properties alongside it and to the Marin County Open Space District’s (MCOSD) Bald Hill Open Space Preserve. The MCOSD took ownership of the landslide parcels on July 16, 2024 and can now implement the proposed landslide repair project. The landslide threatens to undermine Upper Road West, which would have unmitigated effects to ingress and egress for the private properties and Bald Hill Open Space Preserve. The project area has been covered to protect it from additional rainfall that may further mobilize the slide during the interim. Soil boring was completed in March 2023 to assist with the design of the retaining wall.
