Planning for the Ridge Trail is Now Underway... Throughout the Bay Area. a coalition of over 50 public land management agencies, non-profit organizations, and hundreds of volunteers are working on planning and implementing the Ridge Trail. This coalition, the BAY AREA RIDGE TRAIL COUNCIL, guides the planning, trail building, and management of the Ridge Trail. Our goals for the Ri*dge Trail are: · The Ridge Trail will be planned as a recreation corridor. Within this corridor, alternative trails and parallel paths will create a wide diversity of recreation experiences for all trail users. · Each section of the Ridge Trail will be operated under the jurisdiction of a specific land managing agency or organization holding membership in the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council. · The Ridge Trail will follow existing trails whenever possible. It will connect them by using public lands and lands on which a public access easement has been acquired, either through gift, dedication, or purchase. · The RidgeTrail Corridor will be compatible with local plans and follow a route sensitive to environmental concerns. Completion Target: 19921 The proposed Ridge Trail Corridor, announced to the public in September, 1988, will guide development of the Ridge Trail. During the next four years, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council will enlist agency and citizen support to complete the Trail. Long range goals for the Ridge Trail will be accomplished over a 20 year span and will include refining trail alignments to provide the most spectacular scenery and richest variety of wilderness and recreational experiences possible.
