public hearing on this project was held on Wednesday, December 13, 1995

Center, San Rafael, California. An overview of the Golden Gate Bridge
District Seismic Retrofit Project was presented to this Advisory
Commission on August 16, 1995 by Merv Giacomini, District Engineer,
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District. The major
impacts to the park are anticipated to be on lands directly under the
bridge, at Fort Point National Monument (requiring the Fort to close
for several days a week during the one-year construction period), the
Fort Scott area of the Presidio (which will be a staging area for
construction work), and the north end of the bridge. Following approval
of the Staff Report and approval of a Negative Declaration by the
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District board, and a
Finding of No Significant Impact by the Federal Highway Administration
and the National Park Service, a permit for construction activities on
GGNRA land will be issued by the National Park Service incorporating
agreed upon mitigation.
Also on the agenda at this meeting will be briefings on the status
