The South Fork Trail Phase III project is a 1600 foot Class I (off-road) trail extension of the existing
South Fork Trail backbone system. This phase extends from the existing trail terminus at the
vacated Newhall Avenue westerly to the Orchard Village Road bridge. As part of this project, the
remaining vacated Newhall Avenue section will be improved for trail use and a bicycle/pedestrian
ramp will be built providing a safe and efficient access for users at Wiley Canyon Road near Via
Pacifica. A temporary rest stop has been proposed off Wiley Canyon Road which would offer benches,,
drought -tolerant landscaping, decorative boulders, and trash receptacles.
An easement from the Jehovah's Witnesses at the easterly cul-de-sac section at Newhall Avenue
provides the City an opportunity to improve the trail access at this location. The improved entrance
will also provide additional privacy for Vista Valencia Townhome residents. The South Fork Trail
Phase III Project Plans and Specifications will be made available for review in the City Clerk's Office
and adopted by the City Council at the time of contract award.
Currently, $50,000 of PFA funding is budgeted for this project. Future funding is identified in the
proposed 1997-98 Capital Improvement Project Budget.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council authorize staff to issue a Notice inviting Bids for the South Fork Trail Phase III Project.
