 Catellus wanted $80 million for the former Santa Fe tract, but ultimately settled for $27.5 million after EBRPD threatened to employ eminent domain to acquire the property.In March 2016, EBRPD announced that it would spend $2 million to extend the San Francisco Bay Trail, remove debris, toxic soil and invasive plants from two sections of the park, and remove the high dirt pile that has been considered an eyesore for more than ten years.The height of the pile will be lowered by grading, using the dirt to create small hills that would act as a buffer between the park and the adjacent freeway.
