Document Description
The project consists of the construction of Class 1 and 2 bicycle/pedestrian paths, signage, and the installation of benches and picnic tables. Improvements of the existing dirt paths would include grading and paving a Class 1 bike/pedestrian path (12-foot-wide asphalt concrete path), located along and within the Water Canyon drainage channel and ancillary facilities, including the installation of benches and picnic tables at various locations along the path and rest areas. A proposed park and ride site would be located at the southeast corner of Red Apple Avenue and Reeves Street. The project implements the policies and goals of the Golden Hills Specific Plan, the Kern County General Plan, the City of Tehachapi General Plan and Old Towne Specific Plan. The project is related to the Red Apple Avenue construction project which provides a transportation link between communities in the Tehachapi area. The Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted a MND on June 8, 2004 which analyzed the Red Apple Avenue project which is adjacent to the proposed Class 1 path, and is accordingly used as a reference document. The Golden Hills Community Services District has indicated that it will provide maintenance for the proposed improvement Class 1 path while Kern County would maintain the paths along Red Apple Avenue.
