This is a joint meeting with the City of East Palo Alto and the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority. The presentation will describe the overall project, with a focus on East Palo Alto.
The overall purpose of the project is to reduce risks to people, property, and infrastructure from current tidal flooding and projected sea level rise through engineered and natural features that enhance shoreline ecosystems and improve recreational opportunities.
In some areas of the Project, tidal salt marsh habitat will be restored to provide flood protection for Menlo Park and East Palo Alto. Critical habitat for western snowy plover (federally listed as threatened) will be created or protected from coastal flooding as will segments of the San Francisco Bay Trail (Bay Trail) and other trails.
The Draft EIR provides an analysis of the physical environmental effects of implementing the proposed SAFER Bay project, describes the environmental setting, assesses the project’s impacts, and identifies mitigation measures for significant impacts.
