Ramble 13: EBRPD's expanded storage

Ever the busy-body, Marge persuaded Sergei to investigate what might be going on with EBRPD and Neptune Pointe. On Jan 31st, Marge saw three very large, bright orange trucks driving one after the other from EBRPD's "ship shaped" building on the point to Central.
The activity going on there on this day, Feb 1st, includes another truck.

Luckily, the work crew of three was taking a tea-break and were polite as Marge approached them, apologized for interrupting, and asked them to explain.
Turns out the long and narrow zone on the bay side of EBRPD's property - in front of the proposed Neptune Pointe - will be an expanded storage area for EBRPD to stash their mobile aquarium when its not in use. (The work crew called it a "fish tank" but "aquarium" sounds more...educational...doesn't it?)

This picture - right - with the fence gives a good view of both the EBRPD's planned storage area and a view (right of the fence ) between the trees in the distance towards Crown Beach (the public restrooms for the beach and picnic areas are located there).
For both photos, Marge positioned herself with her back to the small bay - part of Ballena Bay? -  around the corner to what she and Sergei call "Sunny Cove". (They agree that a fitting name to refer in public to the debris pile behind Paden School - and mentioned in earlier posts - is "Coconut Grove." In private, though, they refer to it as Poopy Point - due to the...sewerage... on the coconut and bottles Marge insisted on bringing home.)
Here's a picture of that bay at low tide.

BTW, yesterday, Jan 31st, was the day EBRPD faced the City of Alameda in court for the first time regarding the 3 acres parcel the City sold off to a developer right under EBRPD's nose - despite the Park's long term interest in purchasing the acreage for the park district. 

We're busy trying to learn the outcome of this phase of the suit. More soon....
