The purpose of this project is to ensure that vehicular and pedestrian access to San Juan Island National Historical Park and land outside the Park at Cattle Point will continue in a manner that provides a safe and pleasurable experience for the public yet minimizes impacts to the park, NRCA, and the island environment.
Need:
Coastal wind
and wave action is eroding the base of the slope that supports Cattle
Point Road. If erosion continues, the roadway will fail and severely impact
vehicular and non-motorized access to the Cattle Point area of San Juan
Island. Alternative road alignments and various engineering concepts need
to be explored to address this structural problem and provide resource
protection. Alternative solutions will be evaluated against environmental
concerns to assess the natural, cultural, scenic and socio-economic effects
for implementing any one of the alternatives to be studied. These solutions
will be compared to the No Action alternative to find the alternative
that best fulfills the purpose and need. The preferred alternative will
also be consistent with the land management plans of the Park and possibly
NRCA, if nearby Washington State Department of Natural Resources lands
are affected.
