The proposed project will close a trail gap between two existing sections
of the West County Trail by constructing a Class 1 pathway parallel to Green
Valley Road. According to Caltrans definition, a Class 1 bike path is an 8-foot
wide, separated, paved pathway that is shared by pedestrians, bicyclists, and
equestrians on which no vehicles are permitted.
Vehicle traffic will be separated from the
pedestrian/bicycle traffic either by a 5-foot minimum buffer between the path
and the edge of road pavement, or by installing a physical barrier. Preliminary
design engineering will help determine if the bike path should be constructed
on the north or south side of Green Valley Road.
Cost & Funding
The County has secured $315,000 (from a combination of Park Mitigation Fees, Parks Foundation, and Parks Measure M) and $800,000 from the 2022 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP funds will be available for construction expenditure in fiscal year 2025/2026. The total estimated project cost is $1,115,000.
