B. Iron Horse Trail North (Santa Rita Road to BART Station — Discussion of Potential and Preferred Alignments Ms. Ventura advised that installation of the Iron Horse Trail between Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue is in progress, with the section from Busch Road expected to commence in July. The question now is "given all the potential constraints, what is the best and /or most expedient alignment to get trail users from the BART station to the segment at Santa Rita Road ?" The staff report provided three (3) options for the Committee to consider. Ms. Ventura reviewed these options with the Committee, and reminded everyone that although this trail would be traveling through Pleasanton, it would still be an East Bay Regional Park District trail. Mr. Townsend indicated that he did not believe Option 3 reflected all of his comments made at a previous meeting. It is East Bay Regional Park District's (EBRPD) desire to align the trail along the Alameda County transportation corridor "to as great an extent as possible" because the District has the license to use the corridor. He felt that continuing the trail along a sidewalk was not a good recommendation. Mr. Wolfe discussed with Mr. Townsend some areas of the Iron Horse Trail in Walnut Creek that he believed did continue on sidewalks. Mr. Townsend did not believe this was correct, but agreed to check. Trails Ad Hoc Committee June 26, 2006 Page 3
