HUNTINGTON BEACH
Local environmental organizations told state officials they would like to have a wider multipurpose trail, more native plants and an information center included as some of the improvements to Bolsa Chica State Beach.
On Wednesday, state park officials meet with the Surfrider Foundation, Sierra Club, the Bolsa Chica Land Trust, and Amigos de Bolsa Chica to discuss a $7.5-million redevelopment plan for the state beach.
The state had plans to improve existing restrooms, concession stands, storage facilities and lifeguard headquarters, Ito said.
Other public suggestions included creating better public access between the beach and the Bolsa Chica wetlands, improving lights along the multipurpose trail and creating a maintenance facility for bicycles.
Ito said the state hopes to start the project in the fall and complete it by June 2001.
