OLD VINEYARD AVENUE TRAIL The City Council approved the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan on June 1, 1999. Among other changes proposed for the area was the re -alignment of Vineyard Avenue with the -expectation that Old Vineyard Avenue would "remain paved but would be closed to through - vehicular traffic and would revert to use by mostly pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrians, emergency vehicles, and utility maintenance vehicles". The proposed improvements for the trail consist of a 12 -foot wide paved surface for pedestrians, bicycles, and utility, emergency, and maintenance vehicle access. The other side of the trail will consist of a 10 -foot wide multi -use trail created by pulverizing the existing road section.
