County Awards $1.98 Million for Desert View Trails Near Joshua Tree, Approves New Patrol Boat
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors in California on November 3 approved two outdoor and public-safety items: Phase 2 trail improvements at the Desert View Conservation Area near Joshua Tree, and a new patrol boat for the Sheriff's Colorado River station. The county published its Board Actions summary on November 5.
The trail contract, worth $1,982,000, went to Deark E&C Inc., and the project budget rises from $2 million to about $2.7 million. The roughly 605-acre preserve will gain rehabilitated trails, shade ramadas and picnic tables, an overlook, an information kiosk and new signage. The work is fully funded by a California Wildlife Conservation Board grant, with construction expected to begin this fall.
For the Sheriff's Department, the board approved up to $150,000 for a new patrol boat to replace a 24-year-old vessel. The boat will patrol about 90 miles of the Colorado River, including Lake Havasu, from the department's river station.
