The East Bay Regional Parks District is serious about enforcing the closed trail from the Valle Vista staging area to 1700 School Street, warned Moraga Town Manager Robert Priebe in his report to the Moraga City Council at its recent meeting.
The portion of the Lafayette Moraga Trail was closed as of Jan. 21, 2016 due to a mudslide.
"The closure is causing people to trespass on private property on Augusta Drive and to cross EBMUD property," said Priebe. "The park rangers are issuing citations."
Other action at the May 24 meeting at the Council Chambers and Community Meeting Room included:
Sinkhole Repair. Priebe announced that the town has received authorization to go to bid for appropriation of funds on June 14 (See story above). "We will get it done this summer," Priebe told the
council.
Green Infrastructure. The council heard a report from Public Works Director Edric Kwan and clean water consultant Frank Kennedy regarding approving a framework for managing waste water.
Council Members Kymberleigh Korpus and Dave Trotter expressed concern regarding funding of the proposals. Kennedy replied that part of the task would be to seek grants and get help from the Bay Area Storm Water Management and the Contra Costa Clean Water program.
Trotter was proud to point out that the town had already met the 7 percent trash reduction requirement.
General Plan Implementation. The meeting concluded with a report from planning department staff members Ellen Clark and Brian Horn reviewing Moraga's progress in implementing the General Plan.
