Document Description
The Great Redwood Trail Agency (GRTA) proposes to develop a 231-mile, multi-use trail from the Mendocino County/Sonoma County line north to Humboldt County on former North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) right-of-way and adjacent public lands. This is the portion of former NCRA right-of-way that remains in the GRTA’s operational control. The proposed trail would connect to an existing Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) rail corridor trail in Sonoma County to establish an interregional trail corridor between the North Bay communities of the San Francisco Bay Area and the Arcata/Eureka communities around Humboldt Bay. It would be designed and managed to protect and enhance the surrounding natural environment, respect neighboring properties, and offer safe and equitable access for a wide range of users, including hikers, equestrians, cyclists, runners, wheelchair users, and others. GRTA prepared a draft Master Plan document which will be the basis for the proposed project evaluated in the program environmental impact report (PEIR).
