The Mountain View City Council has approved the preliminary design phase for a 0.8-mile extension of the Stevens Creek Trail, a project decades in the making. - The extension will connect the existing trail to West Remington Drive in Sunnyvale and provide access to local high schools.
- The design and environmental clearance phase is expected to take 2.5 years and cost $6 million. - The project is part of a larger plan for a continuous 27-mile trail from the Santa Cruz Mountains to the San Francisco Bay.
- A potential bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Highway 85 is also being explored. The extension marks significant progress after years of delays due to funding and staffing constraints.
