Talk:Bradford Island

Contra Costa LAFCO

 * Municipal Service Review: Miscellaneous Services, April 17 2013, CCLAFCO
 * Outside urban limit line per street lighting map. This document talks about the ferry service in great detail.


 * Law Enforcement MSR
 * On the big map, it's designated CSA P-6 (Countywide Police Protection Services).
 * Beat patrols have been established for an extensive period of time, so patrol Deputies are familiar with the areas they serve, whether it be in the extreme rural areas of the County or within unincorporated urban pockets. Only one area was identified as difficult to serve, that being Bradford Island and Webb Tract, which are only accessible by ferry from Jersey Island.


 * Supervisorial District Map
 * III (same as the census tract, census block, and census block group for 2010)


 * 
 * Majority zoned A-2, with two large parcels near the north zoned A-4.
 * Total of 64 parcels on the island. Two appear to be docks over the water. Two at the southeast cover mostly water and very small amounts of land on the levees, with the southernmost of those two being the ferry dock.

Will add more as I find them. jp×g 11:14, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * CoCo Reclamation Services MSR Final
 * Pg. 140 is a whole section on Bradford, but there's stuff about it elsewhere in the document.
 * LAFCO records indicate that there have been no boundary changes for RD 2059 since 1965207
 * Lots of references in this section which would provide more information.


 * Parks and Cemetery MSR
 * Not much of interest. It's part of the Byron Brentwood Knightsen Union Cemetery District, since it's unincorporated. Page 246 (real page 254).


 * RCD and Mosquito MSR
 * Watershed map on document page 17 (page number 11); BI is in East County Delta Drainages.


 * Fire MSR
 * The only parts of the County meeting the suburban/rural standard are census tracts 3010 (Bethel Island, Jersey Island, Holland Tract and Bradford Island)
 * The District also provides service outside its bounds. The District serves Quimby, Bradford and Webb islands, although these are not within its bounds. In 2007, the District responded to two fires on Quimby Island, three EMS incidents on Bradford Island, and a smoke investigation on Webb Tract.
 * Talks about potential annexation of Bradford Island to another fire district.


 * Water and Wastewater Municipal Services Review Executive Summary
 * Not part of any water or wastewater district.


 * PUBLIC HEALTHCARE SERVICES MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW
 * Not part of any district.


 * Reclamation Districts
 * Brief overview of Bradford Island.


 * County Service Areas
 * Year formed: 1960
 * A JPA was formed in 1987 between RD 2026 and RD 2059 to operate the ferry for limited public transportation between the two islands. Under the terms of the JPA, each district must approve the annual budget for the Delta Ferry Authority and make contributions to the JPA as agreed upon by both parties. (from Contra Costa LAFCO Reclamation Services MSR, 2009)

Other

 * Early Reclamation and Abandonment of the Central Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
 * p59: Webb Tract and its one-time western sector, Bradford Island, were leveed in 1870 and 1871, respectively.
 * p61: The first seeding of small grain on Bradford Island covered 700 acres by early 1873, when houses, barns, and a wharf were built.
 * p62: As noted for cultivated Sherman Island, Bradford Island carried many sheep, especially in winter. Its owner lost 4,000 sheep to drowning in the course of several floods of the early 1870s, abandoning the island in 1875.53The land drainage venture at Bradford Island was aborted after mid-winter and June floods in 1873 and 1874, and in the spring of 1875.

Pre FAC comments
I didn't realize you'd already had the old topographic maps in here, so I'd spent several minutes getting File:Bradford landing map 1910 2.png and putting it into commons
 * The first thing that stands out to me will probably be a pain in the arse to deal with - at a FAC, you'll almost certainly be asked to replace the title as page numbers with the specific article titles themselves. For instance, the article title for " "Page 59". The Sacramento Bee. Sacramento, California. 11 May 1962. p. 59." is actually "Weather, Melting Snow Sink Trouting Prospects"
 * " in 1855, California's state legislature passed an act allowing citizens to purchase tracts of swampland for $1 per acre (equivalent to $22.00 in 2021)." - Where'd you get that inflation figure? I ran it through inflation in my user sandbox at got $28 for 2020?

More to come. Hog Farm Talk 05:04, 21 September 2021 (UTC)


 * "In March 1970, Standard Oil began directionally drill a well under Bradford Island " - Something seems off here gramatically
 * "The fire was spread to the Webb Tract by burning shingles" - the link here for shingles is going to the disease
 * "In 1923, 800 acres (320 ha) of asparagus was grown on Bradford Island" - This appears to be a repeat of information stated earlier
 * Is it known why asparagus was no longer grown on the island?
 * " As marijuana was illegal in California at the time (it would not be legalized until 2016)," - you'll likely be asked to add a source supporting the legalization of weed in CA in '16
 * "  is located in the Byron Brentwood Knightsen Union Cemetery District." - Missing the first word of this sentence?
 * "In 1999, stripers to six pounds were caught at Bradford Island" - It kinds looks like there's suppose to be a section break before this
 * "16 gas wells and three natural gas lines owned by PG&E, as of 2008.[220]

$21.6 million in assets, according to the Sacramento Bee in 2008.[220]

"Among those unlikely to be saved" in 2008.[221] "Our argument is that at some point in the future, you abandon that island".[222]" - Is this part incomplete?
 * The stray material after the ferry section (which looks like it may still be in progress) has some WP:PROSELINE issues

Good work on this one! It's been a major improvement over the stub state it was in. Hog Farm Talk 04:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
