Pilarcitos Creek Trail Project - Phase 2

Pilarcitos Creek Trail Project - Phase 2

The proposed project will provide a paved multi-use trail connecting from an existing segment of the Pilarcitos Creek Trail east of Highway 1, and extending approximately 900 feet east along the creek and across Main Street to the existing creek side John L. Carter Memorial Park. It will provide riparian habitat restoration in the stream corridor adjacent to the trail. Current conditions that compromise the ecological integrity of the riparian corridor include erosion and sedimentation, litter and debris in the stream channel, and especially the invasion of non-native plant species, such as Cape Ivy, leading to the displacement of native flora and fauna. There are four special status species that utilize, or are likely to utilize, the riparian corridor; steelhead trout, California red-legged frog, San Francisco garter snake, and yellow warbler.
