Redesign/Rehabilitate Tidepool Parking Lot at Cabrillo National Monument

Cabrillo National Monument » Redesign/Rehabilitate Tidepool Parking Lot at Cabrillo National Monument » Document List

The National Park Service (NPS) at Cabrillo National Monument proposes to improve the Tidepool Parking Area on the western side of the monument, to improve vehicle circulation, reduce the risk of vehicular accidents, provide space for a bus turnaround, school bus parking drop-off, and permanent restroom. The parking area is at the southern end of the Point Loma peninsula within the city limits of San Diego, San Diego County, California. It is jointly-owned by the U.S. Navy and the NPS, and is operated and maintained by Cabrillo National Monument.

Improvement of the parking area would include

• removing and pulverizing existing asphalt and curbs;
• removing the interpretive kiosk/shelter for later reinstallation and use;
• excavating, compacting and finish grading, placing aggregate base course and asphalt, and pouring tan-colored concrete curbs, gutters, and walks with red brick soldier course;
• installing an oil/water separator and outfall;
• excavating for a vault toilet and installing a pre-fabricated vault toilet and retaining wall;
• designating a bus turnaround and drop-off area and striping 44 parking spaces (the existing number of parking spaces); and
• revegetation of disturbed areas with native plants from the park greenhouse.

The environmental assessment examines two alternatives: no action and the preferred alternative (improve the Tidepool parking area).
