The National Park Service is soliciting public comments, until October 19, on a proposed project that would replace Alcatraz Island’s diesel generators with renewable and grid-tied energy sources. Proposed improvements include re-installing a submarine power cable that would connect the mainland electricity grid, and installing solar photovoltaic panels on the island that would generate renewable energy.

Environmental Assessment Project
Presidio Coastal Trail Improvements

The National Park Service is soliciting public comments, until December 15th, on a proposed project to improve three miles of the California Coastal Trail within the Presidio of San Francisco. The project would create an accessible, multi-use trail from the southwestern end of the Golden Gate Bridge to the Baker Beach area, create multi-use access to the Golden Gate Bridge from Merchant Road, and reconfigure beach access and visitor parking on the coastal bluffs.

Muir Beach Restoration Project

The Muir Beach restoration is a landscape-level coastal restoration project designed to bring back natural function to the creek, freshwater wetlands, intermittent tidal lagoon and dunes over a 46-acre site at the mouth of one of the iconic watersheds in the Bay Area. The project will also enhance visitor amenities at the parking lot and picnic area, create interpretive opportunities such as waysides and self-guided hikes, and improve regional trail links.
