San Lorenzo Point Accessibility Improvements

The project at San Lorenzo Point Overlook in Twin Lakes State Beach, Santa Cruz, California, aims to enhance accessibility and environmental resilience for visitors and the natural landscape. Key improvements include modifying existing street parking with a curb ramp, regrading and upgrading the trail surface to meet accessibility standards, installing four accessible picnic tables, five accessible benches, and one trash/recycle bin. A wood fence adjacent to the bluff will be removed and replaced with a new steel fence positioned farther from the edge to improve safety and reduce erosion risk. Boulders will be placed to delineate pedestrian zones and prevent unauthorized vehicle access, while rock terraces will be constructed to address critical drainage issues and stabilize the bluff. Native vegetation will be planted to restore the natural habitat and support long-term ecological health, and necessary directional and regulatory signage will be installed throughout the area. The work is designed to comply with state accessibility regulations and environmental exemptions under California Code of Regulations sections 15300.4 through 15304, ensuring minimal environmental impact while increasing public access. The project is administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Santa Cruz District, with Linda Hitchcock serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The place of performance is clearly defined as the San Lorenzo Point Overlook in Santa Cruz, CA, with all inspection and acceptance occurring onsite by the government.
