Waterfront resilience and contingency planning

How should Martinez compare shoreline-protection options, costs and public uses before selecting a waterfront design?

The jury describes sea-level and seawall concerns; City disputes that a taller seawall is necessarily the best solution. Discussion invites transparent comparison rather than assuming one engineering answer.

Why this matters

Long-lived infrastructure choices affect public access, environmental values and future budgets.
