Recreation and Enhancement Planning for Crystal Lake and the San Gabriel Canyon

BlueGreen has been selected to develop a master plan for resource protection and recreation in the Crystal Lake Recreation Area and the greater San Gabriel Canyon. We will perform a detailed inventory and analysis into the environmental, cultural and recreational resources of the areas, with a technical focus on existing conditions at Crystal Lake, the surrounding geomorphology, roadway conditions and traffic assessment. The final product of this investigation will be a detailed planning and programming study.
