Document Description: Note: Reference SCH # 1997062099 The project consists of an amendment to the Pogonip Master Plan to identify and describe a new multi-use trail, and construction of a new 1.5-mile long, unpaved, 3-4 foot wide multi-use trail on the City-owned, 640-acre Pogonip open space property. The new trail will provide a connection between the Golf Club Drive entrance at the southern end of Pogonip and existing multi-use trails located within the northernmost portion of Pogonip that connect to UCSC and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Trail use would be open to pedestrians, dogs-on-leash, bicyclists, and equestrians. In addition to construction of a new multi-use trail route, numerous existing unauthorized informal trails will be closed and restored.
