The Bay Trail with Coyote Point Recreation Area

The Bay Trail with Coyote Point Recreation Area

San Mateo County Parks Department (County), with the support of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Bay Trail Project, and the California Coastal Conservancy, propose to realign, construct and/or resurface a 1.2 mile segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail through Coyote Point Recreation Area along its southern perimeter. The "Bay Trail within Coyote Point Recreation Area" is an existing portion of the Bay Trail which would undergo significant improvements (proposed project). The proposed project is entirely within the Coyote Point Recreation Area, which is operated by San Mateo County Parks Department. It is located at the edge of San Francisco Bay in San Mateo County, approximately 3.5 miles southeast of the San Francisco Airport. Improvements to the Bay Trail at Coyote Point would enhance pedestrian and bicyclist access, experience, and safety on the trail by reducing both grades and opportunities for user conflicts. New signage and trail configurations at three intersections, the widening of the trail to 10 feet, and its re-alignment away from the knoll and next to Coyote Point Drive would increase public safety, as bicyclists and pedestrians now often use Coyote Point Drive instead of the existing alignment. Crossing safety would also by improved by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant "ramps" or curb cuts, which would facilitate road crossings by wheelchairs and bicycles.
