Thousand Steps Reopened After Safety Repairs and Improvements

Authored on
Body

Thousand Steps has reopened after a six-month closure. During that time, the City Parks and Recreation Department made significant safety repairs and improvements to the popular landmark, which serves as one of three public beach access stairways in the City. Restoration work required careful timing with tides and coastal conditions and strict adherence to coastal permitting requirements to protect sensitive marine habitats.
