Learn
more about the status of San Jose Trails at our next meeting
tomorrow,
Monday 7/18 7pm @ WG Library. Yves Zsutty, Trails

and land acquisition for the Three Creeks Trail. And Mike

More about trails closures and the annual trail report:
Los Gatos Creek Trail
The City of Campbell is repaving
portions of the popular trail system. Per the attached map, they will
need to close portions of the trail for 24 hour periods during
August. Persons visiting the trail will find barricades that prevent
access.
Coyote Creek Trail
The City of San Jose is expected to
commence work to pave the trail system from Highway 237 Bikeway to
Tasman Drive. We anticipate that work will commence on July 25
(estimated), with construction taking about 4 months. Persons that
use the intersection Highway 237 Bikeway can continue to do so, but
will lose direct access to Coyote Creek Trail during construction.
Penitencia Creek Trail (Noble to Dorel)
Construction work is
occurring this summer to deliver a new section of trail near Alum
Rock Park. There is currently no trail along the creek between Noble
Avenue and Dorel Drive.
Coyote Creek Trail (Shady Oaks Fitness Trail)
A new 1.0-mile
Fitness Loop will be linked to Coyote Creek Trail at the Shady Oaks
Park pedestrian bridge in south San Jose (just north of Blossom Hill
Road). There is no trail at the existing site (former orchard), so
this is a new destination for trail users along the popular trail
system.
