LINCOLN BEACH REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN

The Master Planning process began in fall 2023 and will last through 2024.

At the end of 2024 when the Master Planning Team is wrapping up the initial holistic site design that is grounded in the community's vision, the design firm Sasaki will get into more of the details for walking path materials, utilities, infrastructure, and permitting. They will also determine how these improvements connect to different funding streams and the long-term operations and maintenance of the site over time. After the Master Planning process, there will a breakdown into phases of implementation that are connected to funding. It’s most likely that Lincoln Beach will be re-developed in phases as funding is available. This will enable the holistic vision plan that will guide any future improvements from that point moving forward. This document will be used to guide future decision-making.

At this time, we do not fully know the exact extent of new programming that will result from the Master Planning process, which will impact the construction duration. However, the completion of the first phase of construction from the master plan is anticipated in 2028. In addition, the City is working on a quick open plan that will fix some of the dangerous issues on site and allow people to access the property while the final design of the remaining redevelopment continues. This is intended to happen in late 2024 or 2025 pending permitting processes.

Soil borings are expected to begin onsite in February 2024. Soil borings are soil samples used to perform geological and cultural resource investigations to determine the condition of the existing drainage tunnels and determine if any additional precautions need to occur prior to future excavations onsite.
