SUMMARY OF COMMISSION ACTION
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission considered this item on February 16, 2023.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission voted to recommend to City Council to confirm the preferred alignment of the Stevens Creek Trail for the Remington Drive to Fremont Avenue segment consisting of an off-street trail along the creek with two connections at Fremont Avenue on both sides of State Route 85 (SR85) with the adjustments due to changes in creek conditions. The Commission added that Segment 3 needs to have clear and safe access from the southbound side of Fremont Avenue as well as the northbound side to the proposed trail segments. A friendly amendment was added to the motion to include the recommendation that Segment 3 must end at the southeast corner of Fremont Avenue at Bernardo Avenue in order to provide safe and accessible access for bicyclists and pedestrians. The vote was 5-0, with Vice Chair Beagle absent.
