Santa Cruz Rail Trail Segment 7 Project (Phase II)

Santa Cruz Rail Trail Segment 7 Project (Phase II)

The project is a 0.79-mi paved bicycle/pedestrian trail along an existing rail line within the city from the intersection of California Street and Bay St, within La Barranca Park, near the Neary Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Plant to Pacific Ave. The project alignment would create a paved pedestrian and bicycle path that would run parallel to the existing rail. Trails within the project alignment would be approx 12 ft wide. The edge of the alignment would range from 8.5 ft (in constrained areas) to a max of 65 ft from the rail centerline. The project is the central portion of Segment 7, one of 20 segments within the proposed 32-mile Coastal Rail Trail alignment and the broader Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network. This is the second phase of development of segment 7 and is described as phase II.
