Santa Ana River Parkway Extension Project

Santa Ana River Parkway Extension Project

The proposed project includes the construction of a new Class I Bikeway, Riding and Hiking Trail, and associated amenities on the north and south banks of the Santa Ana River, between Gypsum Canyon Road Bridge and the Orange County boundary. A new Riding and Hiking Trail (approximately 1.75 miles) would be located parallel to the existing SAR Class I Bikeway that is located on the southern bank of the SAR, adjacent to SR-91. A new parallel Class I Bikeway and Riding and Hiking Trail would extend through a portion of the existing Green River Golf Course toward the BNSF Railroad, where the alignment would then follow the BNSF Railroad eastward to the Orange/San Bernardino County boundary. This new parallel Class I Bikeway and Riding and Hiking rail would start approx. 0.15 mile upstream from the Coal Canyon off-ramp in Chino Hills State Park. Additionally, a new parallel Class I Bikeway and Riding and Hiking trail would extend eastward from Gypsum Canyon Road Bridge on the northern bank of the SAR, adjacent to LA Palma Avenue. Three bridges (narrow/non-vehicular) will be constructed. Two of those bridges will cross the Santa Ana River and will connect the new Class I Bikeway, the new Riding and Hiking Trail, and the existing SAR Class I Bikeway. The proposed project will include other design features such as a staging area, trailheads, turnouts, and vista points. Construction of the proposed project is expected to take approx. 18 months and is anticipated to begin mid 2017.
