2.0 ENVIItONMENTAL CHECKLIST Less Than Significant Potentially With Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): tm~t IRCOrDOTatIOn Impact Impact XIV. RECREATION -- a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? ^ ^ ^ . . b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? ^ ® ^ ^ DISCUSSION a,b) Project construction activities would occur within Oyster Bay Regional Park, Monarch Bay Golf Complex, and Marina Pazk/Par Course. Implementation of Measure R-1 would reduce potential impacts associated with construction activities to ales-than-significant level. No new recreational facilities would be built due to construction of the Project, and implementation of the Project would not be expected to increase use of recreational facilities. Planned upgrades at Oyster Bay Regional Park would increase parks usage; this will occur with or without the availability of recycled water. Project construction activities would occur within and near recreation facilities, including the Bay Trail, Oyster Bay Regional Pazk, and Monarch Bay Golf Complex. Irrigation systems would be installed at Oyster Bay Regional Pazk. Currently, the Bay Trail terminates near the north side of San Leandro Slough near the Northern Pipeline Route. As discussed in Section 1.0, EBRPD is proposing to extend the Bay Trail at this location across the San Leandro Slough to Oyster Bay Regional Pazk (ABAG, 2004b). The City would select the Northern Pipeline Route (instead of the Southern Pipeline Route) if the trail extension/pedestrian bridge project moves forward on a schedule that is compatible with the Ciry's objective of providing iizigated water to Oyster Bay Regional Park by 2008. If that is the, case, then recreational activities on the trail would be temporarily restricted in the vicinity of pipeline construction for public safety. Likewise, installation of pipes and irrigation systems at the above recreation facilities would temporarily disrupt recreation activities and would require that safety precautions be taken. MITIGATION MEASURES Measure R-1: Pipeline alignment through recreation facilities shall ensure public safety. The City shall require that the contractor will use appropriate signage and pedestrian /user management to communicate safe detours to recreational users: San L.eaodro Recycled Water Project 2-42 FSA / 203193 Draft IS/NI1+1D
