Project Vision 28 mile multi-use trail

  • Safe, accessible, and separated

alternative to cars

  • Connect people to open space

and recreation

  • Enhance connections between

Fort Ord, Monterey Peninsula, and Salinas Valley

  • Function as habitat corridor
  • Complementary to the built

environment

  • Habitat mitigation and monitoring
  • Biological resources avoidance and

minimization

  • Construction best management

practices

  • Invasive weed management
  • Wetland restoration
  • Native American resources monitoring

Resident Concerns

▪ Increased bicycle traffic on Angelus Way and Frog Pond Wetland Preserve ▪ Impacts to wildlife and biological resources ▪ Homeless intrusion ▪ Safety and aesthetic impacts at underpasses

Project Alternatives

No Build Increase use of existing roadways Substitute at-grade crossings Frog Pond Wetland Preserve Northerly Alignment

  • No trail / continued reliance on cars
  • Lower bio impact / lower cost /

greater vehicle-bike conflicts / less accessible

  • Lower visual impact / Lower cost /

greater vehicle-bike and vehicle- ped conflicts

  • Lower wetland impact / better

separation from existing walking path

Existing Roadway Alternative SR 218 Bike Lanes

  • Constrained roadway

width

  • Only for bicycle travel
  • Safety risks from high-

speed, high-volume highway traffic

  • Not accessible to all

users

Alternative Alignment to Angelus Way Plumas Ave (PG&E Easement)

  • PG&E easement -

recapture backyard right-of-way

  • Tunnel effect behind

Plumas Ave homes vs. user safety

  • Missed opportunity to

connect parks

Wildlife Corridor

  • Avoids impacts to wetland
  • Opportunities for removal of

invasive plants and restoration of habitat

  • Better separation of bike trail

from walking path

At-Grade Crossing Alternative to Tunnel Carlton Drive / SR 218

  • Eliminates tunnel
  • Requires crosswalk

warning system

  • Traffic signal not

warranted
