Luther Burbank Dock Repair and Reconfiguration

Project Details/Neighborhood 

• Luther Burbank Docks

​Background

A 2020 underwater survey of the docks found rot in structural members and loose bracing. Life expectancy is less than five years. The existing facilities do not serve the current need well. More floating dock space would support current uses including small powerboats, recreational sailing and kayak camps. Repairing excess fixed piers is not a good use of capital funding. 

Description

Replace and renovate existing docks. Replace one or more sections of the south pier with floating dock. Renovate north pier. Provide shoreline access and paddlecraft launching. Grant funding has been secured for design of the replacement floating docks and an application has been submitted for renovation of the north pier.
