The following was provided by the Marin County Department of Public Works (DPW) regarding the project at Bayside Park. If you would like to receive direct emails on this project, send an email to dpwbaysidepark@marincounty.org.
____________
Bayside Park Improvements will begin in late April/Early May. To receive email notifications about the project, including details about a San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (SFBCDC) public meeting in April, please send an email to dpwbaysidepark@marincounty.org. The County will continue to make announcements via NextDoor.
The Bayside Park Improvement project is an ADA accessibility project. Due to age and damage from root uplift, the park is no longer code compliant for accessibility. The entire park will be refurbished including grading of many areas of the park, replacement of all paths, benches and trash/recycling receptacles. Nearly all landscaping will be replaced, including new trees that will be placed to prevent future root uplift of paths, and drought tolerant, heavily native plants to better reflect our environment. The approximately half acre park also provides access to the San Rafael Sanitary District’s pump #24, so a vehicle path is included as part of the design.
As a condition of the original 1971 S.F. Bay Conservation and Development Commission permit, the curb running along the entire park will become a no parking zone in order to provide a dedicated bike lane. This parking/bike lane change will become effective as soon as construction is complete and the park reopens.
