On April 8, 2003 the City Council authorized the award of the Balboa Island Bayfront

construction of new concrete sidewalks along East Bay Front between Grand Canal
and Balboa Avenue, along North Bay Front between Park Avenue and Emerald
Avenue, and along West Grand Canal between the Grand Canal Bridge and the first
alley north of South Bay Front. Surface drainage is now directed toward the public
bulkhead and intercepted by new area drains at select locations for below grade
discharge into the nearby street end catch basins via new 6 -inch diameter PVC
underground drainpipes. In addition, deteriorated concrete sidewalk panels and curbs
at various locations on Garnet Avenue, Emerald Avenue, and Abalone Avenue were
reconstructed.
