Coalinga Perimeter Trail Interconnect Gregory North

Coalinga Perimeter Trail Interconnect Gregory North

The City of Coalinga (City) is proposing the design, construction, and operation of one segment (Segment 3-North [3N]) of the City’s planned 8.8-mile perimeter trail and spur system identified in the City of Coalinga Trails Master Plan (Coalinga TMP; City of Coalinga 2017b) using California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Active Transportation Program funding. The Coalinga Perimeter Trail Interconnect Gregory North (project) would develop an approximately 1,917-foot-long pedestrian trail and associated improvements in the city of Coalinga, Fresno County, California (Figures 1 and 2). The proposed trail segment would include a 14-foot-wide shared-use bicycle and pedestrian trail. The proposed trail would consist of a 10-foot-wide paved asphalt concrete (AC) trail between 2 feet of unpaved shoulders on both sides. Other proposed trail components would include a 24-foot-long sidewalk at the Gregory Way crosswalk; one prefabricated bike/pedestrian bridge over Los Gatos Creek with 42-inch-tall guardrails; two curb ramps; a roundabout with an island consisting of signage, shade trees, and a bench; and one solar light on the west side of the Gregory Way crosswalk. The proposed trail segment would connect existing and planned segments of the City’s perimeter trail network, including Segment 3 near Walnut Street, Segment 2 at the roundabout, and Segment 1E at Phelps Avenue (see Figure 1). The project would develop one segment of the City’s planned 8.8-mile perimeter trail and spur system to connect residents in Coalinga (and a disadvantaged census tract) to activity centers such as schools, parks, a college, shopping, neighborhoods, and jobs. The project would provide a safe option to enable increased bicycle/pedestrian transportation use. Increased active transportation would address health disparities in a community that faces higher than average California city rates of asthma, obesity, and heart disease.
