On December 1, 2009, the City Council directed staff to develop a long-term, visionary master plan for the City’s waterfront that will ensure the City’s future as a multi-day destination that is convenient, fun, and beautiful. The Waterfront Master Plan Study Area stretches from the west end of San Carlos Beach to the eastern end of Monterey Bay Park and includes Del Monte Avenue as its southern boundary. The Master Plan will also address specific areas of concern, such as improvements to the Catellus Properties and the proposed introduction of Light Rail Transit along Del Monte Avenue.
