This is a good idea that was floated last year to address safety and congestion issues at the Alameda Launch.
It should be considered again to reduce tensions caused by limited space and to increase public safety (read - maintain kite access at Alameda).
This new plan would accomplish several things.
1) Increased distance from sidewalk about 200%.
2) Increased distance from roadway about 500%.
2) Addition of bushs to catch any tumbling kites or bad launches.
3) Increased launch zones now there would be four designated by skill level.
4) Remove kites from beach which will make the launch area easier to use.
5) Utilize an area for inflating kites and temporary storage. This area of the park that is not currently used for much of anything.
6) Increased parking about 150% by easy access to designated storage area by two differenent lots.
7) An organized flow of inflating, rigging launching, and landing.
8 ) Increased temporary storage area for kites about 500%.
