Title

Regional Bicycle and Recreational Trails Master Plan

Description

The proposed project consists of revising the adopted Fresno County Regional Bicycle and Recreational Trails Master Plan to include the Lost Lake Pedestrian Nature Trail, and the Fancher Creek Bridle Trail, an existing recreation/equestrian trail. These two trails will be included in the next scheduled update of the Transportation and Circulation and Open Space and Conservation Elements of the October 2000 Fresno County General Plan. The conceptual Lost Lake Pedestrian Nature Trail is planned to be minimum of four feet in width and a maximum of ten feet in width and is located within Lost Lake Park, generally along the San Joaquin River (see Exhibit 2). Portions of the Lost Lake Pedestrian Nature Trail will be ADA accessible. The Fancher Creek Bridle Trail is an existing trail that runs along the east side of Fancher Creek from Kings Canyon Road Drive to CA Avenue. The rehabilitation Fancher Creek Bridle Trail will be a non-paved recreational trail. The Revised Plan provides the framework for future development of the County's bicycle, pedestrian and recreational trails network and will make the County eligible for local, state, and federal funding for bicycle and/or recreational trail projects. The Revised Plan is intended to guide and influence bikeway, pedestrian and recreational trail policies, as well as programs and development standards within the County of Fresno to provide a safer, more comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable environment for all bicyclists, trail users and pedestrians. Further implementation of specific projects and programs contained in the Revised Plan may require project specific environmental documentation under the CEQA at the time the project is considered.
