Monterey Bay Recreation Trail Paver Project

The Monterey Bay Recreation Trail Paver Project, managed by the City of Monterey, involves the replacement of a decomposed granite section of the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail with permeable pavement. The project focuses on a 580-foot section of the trail located adjacent to Lighthouse Avenue, spanning the area between Fisherman's Wharf to the south and the Coast Guard Wharf to the north, specifically running parallel to the east end of the Presidio of Monterey. The primary objectives are to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety and mobility, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve overall water quality in accordance with 2021 United States Environmental Protection Agency Stormwater Best Management Practices. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is identified as a forecast with a posted date of December 22, 2025. It is statutorily and categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, specifically under Public Resources Code Section 21080.25 (b)(1) and Section 15301 for existing facilities. Administrative oversight is provided by the City of Monterey, with Christy Sabdo serving as the Principal Planner and Reginald Paulding as the lead agency contact. Performance will take place within the City of Monterey, California, in the 93940 zip code area.
