Border Field State Park Resilience, Access and Habitat Restoration Project

The Project proposes to improve and relocate portions of Monument Road to address seasonal flooding of the existing roadway, plan for and establish resilience against the future effects of sea level rise (SLR), and restore wetland habitats. California Department of Parks and Recreation proposes a new alignment of Monument Road, elevating portions of the roadway, installing box culverts and headwall systems, and removing approximately 2,300 feet of existing asphalt road. The Proposed Project would address the main entrance road flooding and SLR resilience and improve public access to Border Field State Park (BFSP) and Monument Mesa. As previously identified, the existing alignment and elevation of the roadway is subjected to seasonal flooding in several locations caused by storm runoff flows from Goat Canyon and Yogurt Canyon which convey flows from Tijuana, Mexico northerly into the United States. These flows result in both the north-south and east-west portions of the roadway remaining flooded, preventing public access to BFSP and Monument Mesa.
