Canyon Road junction to the terminus of Anza Drive in the Industrial Center.
APPROVED
A portion of the trail will be constructed over an existing abandoned Southern Pacific bridge
crossing the Santa Clara River. The project will include improvements to the bridge to
accommodate a new, 8 -foot wide paved pathway deck, guardrails on both sides, and structural
repair of the superstructure. The work on the bridge will also include encapsulating the bridge
with a specific coating system. The bridge, encapsulation process over the environmentally
sensitive river corridor is a process with which staff does not commonly deal. Therefore, a
construction contingency of 20 percent is requested.

program. On November 30, 2007, the City received authorization from the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to proceed with a call for bids and construction for the
