Eureka Inner Channel Boardwalk Revitalization: A Public-Private Development Success Story
Eureka, California is located on Humboldt Bay, approximately 225 mi (360 km) north of San Francisco. This 19th century seaport town is one of California's historic landmarks and lies in the heart of California's Redwood Empire. Eureka's colorful maritime history includes a booming lumber industry, shipping, commercial fishing, and the construction of schooners during the late 1800's and early 1900's. Economic factors, evolving transportation methods, and high maintenance costs left the historic waterfront and Old Town district neglected and deteriorated. The old timber docks and buildings located along the waterfront were deteriorated beyond the point of being restored and effectively blocked public access to the water's edge. For all intents, Eureka had turned its back to Humboldt Bay. In recent years there has been a movement to restore many of the historic buildings in Old Town and a new interest in revitalizing the adjacent waterfront. Of critical importance was the preservation of Eureka's Victorian seaport heritage while stimulating new development. The goal has also been to encourage residents and visitors alike to participate in recreational boating and provide safe viewing of commercial maritime activities. The project emphasizes Eureka's heritage as a Victorian Seaport with simulated wood planking on the pile supported concrete boardwalk, Victorian lampposts with interpretive banners, and a ship's mast focal point with signal flags that is visible from the heart of Old Town and all along the waterfront.
