California neighborhood that hid public bay path could bankroll long-awaited park improvements

A California Coastal Commission settlement will require Bay Harbour's Homeowners Association to contribute $2.5 million toward improvements at Jack Nichol Park after the HOA illegally blocked public access routes for over 30 years. Funds will support a public restroom, benches, native plants, and wayfinding signage to restore and enhance the 1,500-foot public path through the development.
