Title

Mariposa Creek Parkway Phase III and Trailhead Project

Description

Mariposa County proposes to carry out Phase III of the Mariposa Creek Parkway Master Plan. The Project includes the development of a multi-use (bicycle and pedestrian) creek parkway trail and secondary (pedestrian only) trails and associated improvements that will interconnect existing segments of the Mariposa Creek Parkway with 8th Street, State Route (SR) 140/49 and the Joe Howard Bridge. Locally, it will extend the existing trail from the Mariposa County Arts Park to local businesses and a future transit center. Regionally, it will become part of several bicycle routes extending into the national forests and Yosemite National Park. The Project will implement critical components of the Mariposa Creek Parkway Master Plan, 11th Street Paseo Graphic Enhancement Project, and the Trailhead Project. Specifically, it will construct Phase III of the Mariposa Creek Parkway, an approximately 0.5-mile-long parkway segment between 8th Street and Joe Howard Street; the 11th Street Paseo, an approximately 100-foot-long strategic active transportation linkage between SR 140/49 and Jessie Street; new pedestrian and bicycle facilities along Jessie Street to connect the aforementioned mobility resources and establish a safe bicycle and pedestrian network in this area of Mariposa; and the trailhead area and its associated amenities near Jessie Street and 8th Street.
