The City of San Jose’s Department of Parks, Recreation &
Neighborhood Services continues to focus on trail development and
has recently added more content to its Trail Program
website,
as a way of keeping the public informed. A trail inventory has
been posted that provides an overview of all trail segments within
the city.
Efforts
are currently underway to produce a master plan for the Guadalupe
Trail project from Alviso to Highway 880, in coordination with the
Santa Clara Valley Water District’s Lower Guadalupe River Flood
Protection work. With a completed master plan, city staff will be
able to pursue funding opportunities to develop nearly six miles
of trail. View of the Downtown Project under construction, looking

Meanwhile,
a master plan for the Guadalupe River Trail from Highway 280 to
Willow Street is approximately 90% completed and the Los Gatos
Creek Project from Lincoln Avenue to Auzerais Avenue will have its
plan and environmental documentation completed by February 2004.
Staff anticipates awarding a construction contract in June 2005
and opening the trail to the public in October 2007.
For
questions regarding the trails, please call the City of SJ's
trail coordinator, Yves Zsutty, at 408-793-5561.
