Canal Pathway

The Canal Pathway project is a public works initiative led by the City of San Rafael in Marin County, California. The project focuses on the modification of an existing pedestrian pathway located at the northern end of Spinnaker Berm, adjacent to Canal Street. The primary objective is to perform minor re-grading to establish positive drainage, which will improve surface drainage and eliminate localized ponding that occurs during storm events, ultimately enhancing pedestrian safety and accessibility. The project is classified as a minor alteration to existing public facilities and operates under a categorical exemption per CEQA Section 15301(c). Administrative oversight is managed by Junior Engineer Mariana Sanchez. While a total contract value for construction is not specified, the documentation notes specific environmental filing fees, including a payment of 1,437.25 dollars to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for a Certified Regulatory Program document. The project was formally signed on August 18, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 237990.
