Title

Augustin Bernal Mountain Bike Trail Project

Description

The proposed project would develop an approximately 0.7-mile-long (3,700 linear feet) technical mountain bike trail within and adjacent to Augustin Bernal Community Park in the City in part replacing an existing unofficial user-created trail, and decommission 4,300 linear feet of other existing unofficial user-created trails. The new trail would consist of an appropriately designed and engineered trail to minimize erosion and user risks and reduce potential pedestrian/bicyclist conflicts on the multi-use trails in Augustin Bernal Community Park by encouraging some of the existing downhill mountain bike traffic currently using the multi-use trails to divert to the new trail. Other user-created trails would be decommissioned to minimize potential adverse effects to the vegetation and wildlife in the park. Construction of the proposed trail would require minor grading and vegetation clearing along the entire bike trail alignment. Decommissioning existing user-created trails would involve removing constructed features such as berms and jumps, rehabilitating soil, and broadcasting a seed mix to promote new vegetation growth.
