Save the Point Again!
PROJECT
Part of: Promontory Point Conservancy
To protect and preserve Promontory Point's historic limestone revetment
About
PPC leads its parallel process much as it did back in 2002-2006. We strongly believe we already have a tried-and-true design for Promontory Point’s revetment: stepped stone, limestone revetment. What we need is a plan for rehabilitation and repair of the existing limestone revetment.
We are seeking funds to cover:
We are seeking funds to cover:
- an independent condition report and preservation marine engineering study;
- an open and inclusive community engagement process; and
- our strong and effective legal strategy
We will very soon hire our own marine engineering firm with preservation experiences to:
- conduct a current condition study of the revetment
- update and evaluate the Galvin-Kalven studies, 2002-2005
- initiate an engineering design study for rehabilitation and repair of the historic limestone revetment per Secretary of Interior Guidelines for Preservation
- develop a creative adaptation for ADA compliance
- estimate reliable maintenance costs for a restored limestone revetment over the next 80 year life
- determine cost-benefit analysis for a preservation approach
We want to hear from and listen to the community. So we will also hire a reputable community engagement firm to ensure an open and inclusive conversation with the community to complement the national/international marine engineering study.
