Wildcat Creek drains an 11 square mile watershed straddling Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The creek flows from the hilly open space areas of the East Bay Regional Park District; through the densely developed flatland communities of San

Pablo, Richmond, and unincorporated North Richmond. About 2.2 miles of Wildcat Creek’s open channel run through the community of the City of San Pablo. During World War II as commercial and residential development replaced remaining farmlands, little room was left for the creek’s natural processes. The proposed restoration and greenway trail project is located on Wildcat Creek between a private high school, condominium complexes on the west side and a city-owned 18-acre parcel to the east (formerly a trailer park, now known as “Plaza San Pablo”). The proposed Wildcat Creek Restoration and Greenway Trail Project will restore 2,200 linear feet of creek channel to effectively transport sediment throughout the reach without excessive aggradation or deposition while increasing the in-stream riffle-to-pool ratio. Other creek restoration benefits include refuge areas for trout, a modified floodplain to accommodate larger flow volumes, a widened creek corridor, soil bioengineering applications and planting of riparian plants on the restored bank. This project will also create a greenway trail for safe cycling and pedestrian path. Related improvements include: lighting improvements and associated underground conduit systems, security cameras, concrete benches, trail landscaping, interpretive signs, bicycle racks and bollards.
