Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The plan is funded by a Caltrans grant, so no direct hit to the city's general fund for the planning work.

✅Who benefits

Low-lying shoreline neighborhoods most exposed to flooding get a plan — and access to state funding once BCDC guidelines are met.

⚠️Who could be affected

Residents and businesses in low-lying coastal areas are definitely the ones who stand to lose the most.
