Title

Malech Road Public Access Improvement Project

Description

The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority (Authority) proposes to develop the Malech Road Public Access Improvement Project, which includes a parking and staging area and new public access features within the boundary of the Malech Road property. In addition to providing important public access, the project would include the establishment of a formal entrance with a paved access road and public parking areas; an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible central gathering area and restroom; and two walking/hiking trails compliant with the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas (ABA) and associated picnic areas, benches, and overlooks equipped with shade structures and interpretive signage. Additional features would include a small service vehicle parking area; bicycle racks; fencing; retaining walls; stormwater capture improvements; revegetation of disturbed areas with native stockpiled soils or an appropriate non-irrigated seed mix (to be approved by the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency or qualified biologist); interpretive signage; and a wayfinding kiosk. No hazardous materials sites listed on the State Water Resource Control Board’s GeoTracker database or the Department of Toxic Substances Control’s EnviroStor database are present within the project area or within 1,000 feet of the project area.
