Document Description
The City of La Cañada Flintridge is considering a trail and passive-use park project beginning at the property located at the southwest corner of Indiana Avenue and Foothill Boulevard and continuing south to the north side of Descanso Drive.
The project involves two primary components. First is the construction of an approximately 10-foot-wide multi-modal, non-motorized decomposed granite trail extending from the southwest corner of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Indiana Avenue to the northern edge of the Foothill Freeway (210) right of way, where it will connect with an existing trail overcrossing over the Foothill Freeway. This trail segment is approximately 500 feet long. The approximately 10-foot-wide trail will then continue from the southern edge of the Foothill Freeway right of way at a point of connection with the existing freeway overcrossing, which connection is approximately 200 feet west of Indiana Avenue. The trail will continue south and cross Verdugo Boulevard at a point approximately 200 feet west of Indiana west of Indiana Avenue. The trail will continue south and cross Verdugo Boulevard to Descanso Drive, intersecting Descanso Drive approximately 350 feet west of Fairlawn Drive. On the property between Verdugo Boulevard and Descanso Drive, a small bridge will be built to cross Winery Channel, a small flood control channel. The project will include the street crossing at Verdugo Road including crossing lights and painted crossing indicators. This portion of the trail will be just over 1,000 feet in length.
