This segment was recently blazed but the City needs to improve the
surf ace and post signage per City standards.
$24,000
$900
9
See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
This trail segment has been neglected by the City and suffers a
drainage problem as well as the need for bridge crossings at two
points along the easement. The City should explore the opportunity
to negotiate trail improvements with the land developer. As the
existing easement running on the west side of Quarry Road is not
needed to complete the trail loop it could be returned to the
developer in exchange for trail improvements. The City will then
need to post signage and monitor and maintain the trail.
$48,000
$1800
10
See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
This segment has been developed but is nonconforming with
construction requirements. Proper drainage has not been provided
and with every rainfall the path is flooded and the surface washes
away. In addition the trail slope is too steep for equestrian
use. The City should negotiate with the subdivision developer for
the improvement of this trail.

construction. Its location has not yet been defined. The City
needs to insure the trail is constructed per City standards and
that signage is posted.
$18,000
$675
12
See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
This segment has been developed but little maintenance is evident.
The surf ace width varies and in places the bordering property owner
has encroached on the easement. B,cause the drainage was
improperly installed, with every rainfall the path floods and the
surface washes away. The City needs to clear the area, improve the
drainage and post signage . ·
$12,000

13
See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
This trail is overgrown and has received very little maintenance.
At the northern end a bordering resident has infringed on the
easement thereby blocking the passage. The City shall have to
regain the easement at this location prior to clearing the growth
and generally improving the trail.
$27,600
$1035
14
See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
An easement has been dedicated for the length of this trail but no
path is evident in the field . Since the time of the dedication
surrounding property owners have encroached on the easement and the
opportunity for development appears lost. The City should
investigate the opportunity for regaining the easement.

base of his property. The City needs to regain possession of the
easement prior to clearing and posting signage.
$4800 .

17
See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
The easement originally dedicated for this trail appears to now be
lost to the development of Congress Springs Lane and a private
drive. The City should investigate the opportunity to develop a
trail alongside the road on the south side. The right-of-way could
accommodate a trail.
$24,000

See Section 2.4 for existing conditions
This path serves as temporary access from Azule Park to Kevin Moran
Park, across the Highway 85 corridor. Although the trail condition

This trail serves to connect segment #21 to Big Basin Way and the
center of town. Its location varies from along the roadside to an
elevated area behind a brick wall southeast of Historical Park.
The City should explore the opportunity to better define the trail
especially northwest of the Park, where the segment is nothing more
than a City sidewalk.

Concerning the series of connections along Fruitvale A venue, this
segment is the most in need of improvements. The path travels very

it will serve as an important connection between segment #3 l and
Fruitvale A venue.
$21,600
$405

This segment serves as a connection between Fruitvale A venue and
Quito Road. From the west end, the trail travels along San Marcos
Road to the junction of Chester A venue. At this point the path
travels northeast to meet Ten Acres Road. From here the trail
turns east and then northeast along Sobey Road until the crossing

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.

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. No trail easement exists but
as the path serves as an important connection between Redwood
School and Saratoga A venue, it should be considered for
establishment as an official trail and signage posted accordingly.

County Flood Control Land, PG&E easement and private property.
Residential property and .the railroad
The City needs to negotiate with owners to provide trail easements
and then construct the trail and signage to City standards. As the
railroad easement continues north through the City of Cupertino
consideration should be given to th,ir development of a trail as
well. This would then serve to connect both cities to the San
Francisco Bay and Shoreline Trail.

and other safety features. A bridge must also be provided at the
crossing of Rodeo Creek. Construct the trail and signage to City

PG&E land and easements, San Jose Water Works, and the railroad
Congress Springs School and residential property.
The City needs to negotiate with land owners for easements. When
constructing the trail the City should incorporate Congress Springs
Park. A bridge will be needed at the crossing of Saratoga Creek
and a safe road crossing at Cox A venue and Saratoga A venue. By
extending the segment southwest along Saratoga A venue a crossing
could be established at Dagmar Drive thereby safely connecting to
segment #41. Construction of the trail should comply with City
standards.

The City needs to negotiate with land owners for easements. In the
trail design, road crossings at Saratoga A venue and Quito Road must
be addressed as these are both busy roads and appropriate safety
features will be necessary. A safe crossing could be established
by extending the trail southwest along Saratoga A venue to Dagmar
Drive. A bridge crossing is also needed at Wildcat Creek. ·
Negotiations should be made with the City of Los Gatos and the
County to continue east along the railroad and link with the
existing Los Gatos Creek Trail.

3.6 Proposed Trail System Improvements
This segment has be-:n identified by the property owners during
development as a trail easement. Negotiations should be made with
the County to extend this segment west thereby making a connection
with Fremont Older Park. The City would then need to construct the
trail per City standards and post the appropriate signage. As the
easement is already dedicated and the land available for ·
development this route is a more feasible alternative to connect
the City's trail system to the County parkland in the West.
