Editor's Notes
- #2 About San Jose: About 1,000,000 residents Level topography 300 days of sunshine (more than San Diego) Casual environment, well-suited to biking
- #3 Recreation – about 1200 users on Los Gatos Creek Trail – overall usage up 12.7% this year. Commuters – 54% commute to / from work on Guadalupe River Trail Tourists – one of nation’s largest urban trail networks
- #4 San Jose’s 100-mile interconnected trail network is further accessed by a 400-mile bikeway network also planned for the City of San Jose.
- #5 San Jose seeks to be national leader by focusing in 6 core areas: Innovation, Data Driven, Quality, Access, Partnering, and Pace of Development.
- #6 Mileage markers are being installed at ¼-mile intervals. Trails are now appearing on the roadway maps used by 911 Dispatchers – this helps to speed response times and improve record keeping for better design and maintenance.
- #7 “Transit to Trails” application – now available in the iTunes Store All San Jose trails now on application
- #8 Images from 0.8 mile Highway 237 Bikeway (completed this past June) Warm mix asphalt requires less heating, produces fewer hydrocarbons Compostable mulch retains moisture for improved plant restoration Custom, light weight bollard reduces potential for employee injury Smaller construction sign reduces cost and use of materials
- #9 Trail Count documented a 53% share of commuters along the Guadalupe River Trail and a 5.4% increase in traffic. Significant increase in trail usage along the downtown portion of Los Gatos Creek Trail was documented.
- #10 San Jose is looking at under-developed utility and/or trail corridors and enhancing them with wider paved trails and landscaping in some instances.
- #11 Improving existing routes for recreation and commuting
- #12 Quality Design Create “sense of place” for neighborhoods Establish high quality, memorable points of interest. council members ask “when will I get my gateway to the trail?”
- #13 The easy trails are done – working within an urban environment demands the clever solutions and often significant engineering. Resolving challenging access issues with high quality solutions
- #14 San Jose’s 100-mile interconnected trail network is only possible through collaborative arrangements with other public agencies. The Santa Clara Valley Water District is a key partner, with about 40% of the network developed upon the District’s lands. Other trails have been developed upon PG&E and Caltrans properties.
- #15 San Jose is seeking to develop about 3 miles of new trails each year to reach its 100-mile network goal by 2022.
