The double stairway to Pebble Beach, between Freeman and Pacific is in poor condition and those wishing access to the beach should use caution in accessing the beach from this stairway.
For almost a decade, through the efforts of three District Two supervisors, including Supervisor Valerie Starkey, this access to Pebble Beach will be fixed. Upon approval of the grant, repairs will be expedient.
The property is maintained by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. CDFW has just applied for a $430,000 grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board. Wildlife Conservation acquired the property many years ago and transferred maintenance to CDFW to make necessary repairs and improvements.
The project is now slated to be undertaken.
The project will resurface entire stairways and walkways, install new handrails, re-stripe the parking area, add a new cultural sign and improve ADA access.
CDFW Engineering has drafted a concept for the construction and have met with county staff, the California Coastal Commission, Wildlife Conservation Board and the Tolowa Dee-ni as part of the process.
CDFW emphasized the project can’t happen quickly enough.
