Title: Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve Public Access Improvement Project
Description: The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority (Authority) prepared the Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/Proposed MND) for the Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve Public Access Improvement Project. The Authority proposes to develop the Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve Public Access Improvement Project, which includes resurfacing the existing 0.25-mile Heart’s Delight Trail to provide an accessible connection from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking area and restrooms to other visitor use areas within CVAL. The project includes reconfiguring entry areas into the preserve by replacing existing shade structures, adding seating, decommissioning redundant trails, and updating preserve informational and wayfinding signage; developing two small overlooks along the Heart’s Delight Trail to provide additional seating for interpretation and nature viewing; improvements to an existing pedestrian bridge along Heart’s Delight Trail; and regrading the ADA parking area. Improvements would require localized excavation for footings and minor regrading of trails to meet accessibility guidelines. Trail and visitor amenity areas would be designed to meet United States Access Board Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas standards.
