ACTION ALERTS
Act Now!
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED to complete funding of the Point molate bay trail now under construction!
City staff have asked the City Council to consider covering funding shortfalls in high priority capital projects by shifting funding from some identified “discretionary” activities when the Council meets for a Budget Study Session this Tuesday, June 9. One of the capital projects is the Point Molate Bay Trail now under construction for completion this year. The 2.5-mile multi-use trail between the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and the northern border of Point Molate will provide long-awaited public access for enjoyment of this scenic, historic shoreline as shown on the map below. Discretionary activities are defined as “funding that is not tied to existing City obligations, approved agreements, permanent full-time staff positions, or the resources necessary to support core City operations”. CLICK HERE if you would like to read the Budget Study Session agenda report.
Please use the easy process presented below to send the Council an email supporting provision of the additional $1.0 million needed to complete the Point Molate Bay Trail this year.
