Railroad Safety Trail Project, Taft Street to Pepper Street (ER# 91375)

Project includes the construction of a new 1,700-ft Class I and Class IV trail from Taft St to Pepper St, to serve pedestrians and bicyclists, and consisting of a 12-ft wide shared use path with 2 ft paved shoulders. Project includes: construction of the path; a bridge structure over UPRR tracks; retaining walls; the removal of approx 20 trees; and re-striping vehicle travel lanes, which would decrease the number of northbound travel lanes from two to one along the California Blvd overcrossing structure at US 101. Project would result in the disturbance of approx 3.15 acres, including 0.76 acres of permanent disturbance, 2.16 acres of temporary only disturbance, and 0.28 acres of unpaved construction staging area. Permanent or ROW take and temporary construction easements are needed.
