Document Description
The Memorial Trail Improvement Project would realign the Memorial Trail at the Terra Linda / Sleepy Hollow Open Space Preserve. The current trail alignment runs in a fall-line orientation from Ridgewood Fire Road to Dias Way and exceeds 35 percent slope gradients in places. The existing Memorial Trail alignment and associated social trails would be decommissioned. A new Memorial Trail alignment would be developed at a sustainable 5 to 10 percent grade. The Memorial Trail realignment would increase the trail length to reduce the trail grade. The existing trailhead at Del Haro Way would be signed to designate the realigned trail. The Memorial Trail is currently designated for hikers, equestrians, and dogs on leash. It would be re-designated to provide non-motorized bike access. Some segments of the existing social trail network would be upgraded and incorporated into the sustainable trail system. These would be hiking-only trail extensions to Malone Lane and Dias Way and a hiking - equestrian trail extension to Oak Ridge Road. These trails would be signed as system trails, meaning that they would be included on trail maps. These actions would meet the project purpose and objectives by reducing environmental impacts, improving trail sustainability, and providing greater accessibility for all trail users.
