Proposed 5600 L.F. 2 Public right -of-way, orchard and private lot!. Residential property This trail alignment was proposed by a community member attending the Trails Community Workshop. The City should negotiate with private property owners and the orchard to establish a trail easement. This segment is important to serve as a connection with the Los Gatos Creek Trail and Vascna Lake County Park. In the Santa Clara County Trails and Pathways Plan a trail has been proposed along Los Gatos Road from Saratoga A venue to the creek. If developed it would connect these two trail systems. $134,400 $2520 35 This segment travels along the dedicated roadway easement that joins the north-south and east-west lengths of Douglass Lane. Unofficial 800 L.F. l Dedicated roadway, private driveway Orchard and residential property This segment appears to run along a private drive and at the eastern end a locked gate crosses the entrance.

This segment appears in quite good condition with the exception of a few feet along the northeast boundary of the orchard where the path slopes sharply toward the fence.
