Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to construct a 1.5-mile multi-use trail, beginning in the city of Sonora at State Route 49 and South Green Street, extending south down to State Route 49 to an existing trail located near the Motherlode Fairgrounds. In addition, a trail junction will be constructed at the State Route 49 and Woods Creek Drive intersection, forming a T in the trail.
Phase I of the project can be broken into three segments: South Green Street to Woods Creek Drive, Woods Creek Drive to Motherlode Fairgrounds, and Woods Creek Drive to Snell Street. Project-wide improvements will consist of construction of a Class I pedestrian and bicycle path, Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, and restriping portions of State Route 49 to narrow and shift the existing lanes.
