Document Description
The Emerald Necklace is a 17-mile interconnected network of bikeways, multi-use trails, parks, and greenways along the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo. The Emerald Necklace Implementation Plan Phase I includes sixteen projects that would close gaps in the trails network and increase access to people in the project area. The projects are located in four general areas along the Emerald Necklace which include the Quarry Clasp, Whittier Narrows, San Jose Creek, and Westside. The Quarry Clasp includes four projects (Projects 1-4) that would close the trail loop at the northern point of the necklace by connecting the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo. The Whittier Narrows area includes five projects (Projects 5-9) that would connect the Emerald Necklace Trail to the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area.
