All,
If anyone is interested, they have posted the 100%Construction Documents and the public comments for the Crissy Field renovation at the links below.

Firstly, thanks for all the comments that everybody submitted. As you go through the comments, it is pretty clear that our effort and outreach to the community had some good effects.
As far as the improvements go, I didn't see anything particularly jarring.
1. Re-surface/reseal/restripe the ashpalt in the lot,
2. Add lane markers in the back aisle/entry/exit aisles
3. Add stop signs at those two dangerous intersections at the entry and exits into the lot
4. There is going to be a low planting fence around those grassy areas between the parking lot and the promenade. I think this was a response to concerns about sand blowing into them right now
5. They are adding another paved path from the bathrooms to the promenade which will add another more direct path to the beach from the rigging area.
6. It appears that all the grassy areas are to remain but there is no indication as to what sort of remediation/ re-turfing of these areas may be
7. All the benches and picnic tables are to be refurbished.
8. The aformentioned grassy area between the promenade and parking is going to be reduced from 14ft to 9ft wide.
The only thing that gives me pause is reference to an Alternates Schedule on sheet G0.02 that is not included in the posted set. We really need to understand what these proposed alternates may be and if they have any adverse impacts to us. There are also sheets in the construction documents that are not posted that would be helpful for us to understand the complete scope of the renovation and ensure that the NPS is not trying to slip any design changes under the radar.
I have not read everything in the above links in detail so if somebody comes across something of particular concern or impact to our constituency, please share it with us.
