Document Description
The proposed trails would be constructed on an existing 47-acre property and would connect to the existing trail systems of Santa Teresa County Park and Calero County Park. The project involves the construction of a new recreational multi-use trail connection between two Santa Clara County parks for use by hikers, bikers, and equestrians and additional parking lots. The proposed project would include a main trail with connected seasonal trails that would provide visitors with access to rest areas, a vista point, and picnic areas. Two steel truss bridges (up to 55 feet long) with concrete headwalls would be installed along the main multi-use trail where it would cross over Santa Teresa Creek and Arroyo Calero.
Trail user access to the trail alignment would be available at the two primary trailhead entry points on the northern and southern end of the project site. A new parking area is proposed directly east of the existing Rancho San Vicente Parking area to the south of McKean Road. A new parking area is proposed along San Vicente Avenue adjacent to the northern trailhead to replace existing, unimproved roadside parking. A signalized crossing would be installed at the intersection of Fortini Road and McKean Road. A raised multi-use crossing would be installed across San Vicente Avenue to allow trail users to cross between Santa Teresa County Park and the proposed project. Existing barbed wire fencing along the project site perimeter would remain in place or would be replaced with wildlife-friendly fencing. Existing fencing within the interior of the project site would be removed.
