Sanchez, Director SUBJECT: Trail Safety Issues - Helmets - Speed RECOMMENDATIONS O S A. No change in existing ordinances and policies for the enforcement of speed. B. Recommend to County Counsel to draft an ordinance requiring helmets for all bicyclists and rollerbladers on all County Park lands and trails. BACKGROUND At the November 3rd, 1994 Commission Meeting, you requested staff to review and comment on the following recommendations from your San Mateo County Trails Advisory Committee. 1. Helmets to be required for all bicyclists and rollerbladers and that helmets be recommended for equestrians. 2. That a speed limit of 15 miles per hour, or as otherwise posted, be established for bicyclists throughout all our parks' trails that allow bicycles. The above recommendations were made, voted on and passed at the September 13, 1994 Trails Advisory Committee Meeting, after discussion of a report by the Trails Committee's Rules and Regulations Sub-Committee. At the December 1, 1995 Commission Meeting, the Parks and Recreation Division Staff presented a preliminary report based on information readily available from neighboring Parks & Recreation agencies. • Most cities do not have speed limits or require helmets for bicyclists or rollerbladers. • The State of California does not permit bicycles on trails and enforces state law on roads in Portola State Park. • The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District requires helmets for bicyclists and have a posted speed limit of 15 M.P.H. on district preserves. • The Golden Gate National Recreation Area does not regulate bicycle speeds on trails and will enforce State law regarding helmets. San Mateo County's current ordinance codes provide adequate legislation to enforce those provisions listed below: • Bicycles may be operated only "on a path designated and signed for that purpose". • Bicyclists shall ride single file except to pass. • No bicyclists shall exceed a safe speed. • No bicyclists shall exceed 5 M.P.H. within 1/8 mile from each end of Sawyer Camp Trail or exceed 15 M.P.H. on the rest of Sawyer Camp Trail. Discussion Staff has conducted a more thorough investigation and review of the above practices and policies in neighboring agencies, as well as a thorough review of accident and incident reports, and an g g g assessment of the projected fiscal impacts of implementing the Trail Advisory Committee recommendations in San Mateo County Parks. Rules - Policies - Practices A review of the rules and practices of the various cities, state, federal and district park agencies indicate: • No consistent set of rules on policies regarding speed limits was apparent. P g g s P PP • All agencies will enforce the state law verifying helmets for bicyclists under the 2 age of 18. Our rangers have given verbal warning, as appropriate, but have not issued citations since the law became effective. • No agencies require helmets for rollerbladers. Review of Accident Reports During 1993 and 1994, there were forty-five accidents reported to County Park Rangers involving bicycles. 0 Fifteen involved injuries to the head or face. • Ten victims were wearing helmets; eleven were not wearing helmets. There is no record if the other twenty-four were or were not wearing helmets. • Excess speed was apparently involved in fourteen of the accidents. Speed was not the cause of twenty of the accidents. It is not known if speed was involved in eleven of the accidents.

The following was extracted from the Evaluation Report to the District Board of Directors dated December 14, 1994. MRSOD Trail Program Data The data contained in the table below represents the total use of the two radar units by ranger 3 staff during the trial program. The table shows the speed readings for bicyclists. The speeds of eleven horses were also recorded. However, none exceeded the speed limit. It should also be noted that a number of bicyclists and equestrians had advance warning of the radar unit location, which probably resulted in a reduction of the speeds actually recorded. The speed awareness stations were highly visible and stationary, often for several hours. On busy days, word of their location spread around the preserve rather quickly. Staff has also included the bicycle injury accident totals for 1993 and 1994 in the table. 1. Staff hours of radar use 560 2. Total recorded speed readings 3,039 3. Speed at 15 mph or less (78%) 2,377 4. Speed greater than 15 mph (22%) 662 5. Seed between 16 and 20 mph 15% 454 P P 6. Speed between 21 and 25 mph (6%) 171 7. Speed between 26 and 30 mph (1%) 35 8. Speed greater than 30 mph 2 9. Written warnings issued 39 10. Citations issued 11 11. Bicycle injury accidents in 1993 (Jan.-Dec.) 44 12. Bicycle injury accidents in 1994 (Jan.-Nov. 46 MRSOD Findines 1. The majority of bicyclists using district trails are adhering to the trail speed limit. However, there are a significant number of people exceeding the speed limit. 2. Rangers report that the use of radar has been effective in raising visitor awareness of trail use speed. The program created thousands of opportunities to make contacts with preserve users. It has demonstrated to all user groups the district's commitment to provide safe multiple-use of trails. MRSOD Conclusions Generally, the use of radar has been successful. It has raised the public's awareness of trail use safety issues. The use of radar has proven to be an objective method of determining trail users' speed. The equipment is accurate and reliable. Using radar has increased the frequency of informational contacts with trail users. However, there are limitations to its use as an enforcement tool. Staff has learned that the radar equipment must be moved around a preserve frequently to insure that accurate information is obtained. The consistent use of the large display board and associated cabling make it rather cumbersome to change locations often. Rangers are also concerned about the amount of time it takes to break down the station when they need to respond to an emergency. If the District continues to use radar to enforce the trail use speed limit, a number of benefits 4 are likely. Compliance with the speed limit and safety awareness should improve. Since radar is an objective determination of speed, citations issued for speeding are more likely to be upheld in court if supported by radar readings. Active enforcement of the trail use speed may be our most effective way to insure compliance and safe trail experience for all user groups. Fiscal Impact 0 An estimated $6,000 - S8,000 labor and equipment would be needed to implement and enforce a 15 MPH speed limit for bicycles and rollerbladers on all county park lands and trails. 0 There would be little or no costs associated with implementing and enforcing an ordinance requiring helmets for bicyclists and rollerbladers. 0 An undetermined amount could be saved in settling law suits if the number and especially the seventy of injuries are reduced. Conclusion•. Based upon the cost and further review from Risk Management, no further enforcement guidelines are being recommended for speed limits. The Trails Advisory Committee's intent to recommend consistency among other agencies for enforcement is admirable. However, findings indicate there is no consistency among agencies surveyed within San Mateo County. Risk Management review of accidents and potential hazards identified for not wearing helmets further pointed out significant further exposure. Implementation of requiring helmets is significantly easier to manage and would involve minimal cost for enforcement. In some cases, the elimination of requiring proof of age would make it easier for rangers to enforce. Additional legislation would need to be prepared. Respectfully, i Patrick H.

In February 1977 this committee completed its task and recommended 14 trails projects for San Mateo County, some of which were new, some of which were connecting segments of existing trails. 1987 CHARGE TO TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE With the interest in trails growing in the County, and the increasing use by runners, joggers and bicyclists, the Parks and Recreation Commission decided that the 1977 Trails Plan should be updated. A 25-member Trails Advisory Committee was appointed in August 1987 with the following charge: 1. To recommend policies to the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning the planning, development, maintenance, and operation of trails in the County park system. 2. To review and update the County Trails Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors on February 10, 1977. 3. To coordinate the planning, development, and operation of a county-wide trail network, including connector trails to cities, state parklands, federal lands, and lands of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD). 4. To recommend to the Parks and Recreation Commission connecting trails to the neighboring counties of San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara. 5. To coordinate with the activities of the San Mateo County Bikeways Advisory Committee. 6. To promote and coordinate the planning and development of a multi-use Baylands Trail, which will eventually connect to a trail around the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. 7. To support and promote the activities and policies of the California Recreational Trails Committee to the greatest extent possible 8. To support volunteer trail action programs throughout the State and County. 9. To sponsor frequent exchanges of information between user groups and trail providers. 19951 rails an A NEW TRAILS PLAN COMPLETED After an intensive review of the 1977 Trails Plan, map study and field trips to the County's many existing and proposed trails, the 1989 Trails Plan was completed. In 1990 a revised edition of the 1989 plan was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors, by reference, as a part of the Parks and Recreation Element of the County General Plan. The Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan describes park and recreation facilities provided by both the public and private sectors, analyzes relevant issues affecting these facilities, and provides policies to address them. The 1990 edition of the Trails Plan includes three proposed regional trails, San Mateo County's existing trails outside County parks, and a list of County proposed trails outside County parks. The proposed trails are extensions of existing trails or are trails that would connect existing city, County, state, regional or federal parks. 1991 ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE In December 1991, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved adding the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the California Coast Trail to the Committee's charge: 10. To promote and coordinate the planning and development of a multi-use Bay Area Ridge Trail, which eventually will become a continuous trail along the ridges encircling San Francisco Bay. 11. To promote and coordinate the planning and development of a multi-use California Coast Trail to connect state parks and beaches along the coast. THE NEXT PHASE Beginning in 1992 the Trails Advisory Committee revised sections of the Plan, adding recently-completed or previously omitted trails to List B, Existing County Trails and adding one trail to List A, Regional Trails, and adding several trails to List C, Proposed Coun_q Trails to reflect new conditions. (See Summary of Revisions, Appendix IV). Because the holdings and policies of neighboring jurisdictions change and implementation of the Plan will continue to progress, the Trails Plan will need revision every three or four years. 1995 2 Trads an SAN MATEO COUNTY TRAILS PLAN REGIONAL TRAILS-EXISTING AND PROPOSED 1. Bay Area Ridge Trail This multi-use regional trail will extend for approximately 400 miles along the ridges surrounding San Francisco Bay. The alignment through San Mateo County begins at the San Francisco County line south of Fort Funston, traverses Thornton Beach State Park and extends almost to Saratoga Gap, a distance of approximately 46 miles. At this writing 34 miles of trail are completed in San Mateo County. The Bay Area Ridge Trail is endorsed by the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County and all the cities therein. From Fort Funston the route goes across an easement on the Olympic Club beach, traverses the dunes at Thornton Beach State Park and then follows the old park road to a point just south of John Daly Boulevard. There is a short gap between the end of the old road and Westridge Drive. From there the trail follows Daly City streets to Mussel Rock Road. The trail would then continue on bluff-top, dedicated streets in Pacifica to the Manor Drive overpass to Oceana Boulevard. From there the trail would go to Milagra Ridge. From Milagra Ridge, the Ridge Trail crosses Sharp Park Road and proceeds along the east side of North College Drive, passing through Skyline College property to Sweeney Ridge, in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). Continuing to the south end of Sweeney Ridge, the trail reaches the Portola Gate, the north entrance to the City of San Francisco's Watershed lands. The trail would pass through the Watershed, using Fifield Ridge and Cahill Ridge roads south to Highway 92 at Skyline Boulevard. The trail would then cross Highway 92 and proceed south to Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. The trail would use either the San Francisco Watershed on the east side of Skyline Boulevard or go along the west side of the road. The existing trail then descends into Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, skirts around the community of Kings Mountain, and climbs back up to Skyline Boulevard. (An alternate, more level route would continue south on the east side of Skyline Boulevard, passing through the Phleger lands of GGNRA to Huddart County Park.) Leaving Purisima Creek Redwoods, the Ridge Trail crosses Skyline Boulevard and enters Huddart County Park on the existing Skyline Trail, which proceed6.1 miles south on the east side of Skyline Boulevard through California Water Service Company property to the western tip of Wunderlich County Park. 1995 Traits Plan 3 From Wunderlich County Park, the trail would cross Skyline Boulevard into El Corte de Madera Open Space Preserve. Winding down through the eastern portion of the preserve, the trail would cross Bear Gulch Road in the vicinity of Allen Road, and enter La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, descending south to Highway 84. Crossing Highway 84, the Ridge Trail would wind northeast uphill to Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. On an existing route, the Ridge Trail traverses Windy Hill Open Space Preserve on the east side of Skyline Boulevard. The Ridge Trail would continue south, crossing Skyline Boulevard at Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. Here the existing Ridge Trail follows the crest of Russian Ridge south, crosses Alpine Road into Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve and then continues south through Long Ridge Open Space Preserve and a corner of Santa Cruz County to enter Santa Clara County. 2. San Francisco Bay Trail The San Francisco Bay Trail is a proposed regional bicycling and hiking route that will extend around the Bay's shoreline for about 400 miles. The Bay Trail (often referred to as the Bayfront Trail or the Baylands Trail in San Mateo County) is designated in seven out of ten General Plans in cities along the shoreline. About 37 miles of the Bay Trail are completed in San Mateo County. The Bay Trail would begin at Candlestick State Park, just north of the San Francisco/San Mateo County line. It would proceed, as an interim route, along the west side of Highway 101 and, if feasible in the future, along the Bay shoreline on the east side of Highway 101 along what is known as the Candlestick Cutoff to Sierra Point. Some segments exist along the shoreline at Sierra Point, Oyster Point, and Point San Bruno. The Bay Trail would turn south and then west along the bayfront below Point San Bruno where it joins two existing trails along the channel of Colma Creek. The Bay Trail would then join Airport Boulevard at San Bruno Avenue and continue south on Airport Boulevard to pass around San Francisco International Airport. Turning east on Millbrae Avenue it would join a long section of almost continuous Bay Trail that runs along the waterfronts of Millbrae, Burlingame, Coyote Point County Park and Recreation Area, San Mateo, and Foster City to Belmont Slough. Crossing Belmont Slough on a proposed bridge, the Bay Trail would enter the Redwood Shores area of Redwood City. There it follows an existing trail on the outer levee along Steinberger Slough. The proposed route could use an existing trail on private property south of the San Carlos Airport to an existing bridge across Redwood Creek. The Bay Trail would pass through the Redwood City waterfront to 'the end of Marsh Road in Menlo Park. An existing trail continues along the Bayfront Expressway to the Dumbarton Bridge approach (Highway 84). At the University Avenue signal on the approach road there are two alternatives for the Bay Trail. The first route would cross the approach road at the University Avenue signal and follow the south side of University Avenue to the former Southern Pacific spur tracks, now property of SamTrans, then strike eastward 1995 4 Trads an to the border of the Ravenswood Open Space Preserve. Crossing a proposed bridge over a slough to the existing trail going south through the Preserve, the Bay Trail would then cross Bay Road and proceed along the levee south to join the existing Bay Trail at Runnymede Street. The Bay Trail continues along the levee to a bridge over San Francisquito Creek into Palo Alto in Santa Clara County. A second, long-term route continues on the existing trail along the north side of the Dumbarton Bridge approach road and under the Dumbarton bridge ramp to a fishing pier. From there this alternate Bay Trail would continue south along levees to the Ravenswood Open Space Preserve. 3. Coast Trail The proposed California Coast Trail would follow the San Mateo County coastline from Thornton Beach to Ano Nuevo State Reserve. Primarily a bluff-top trail, this trail would connect state and county parks and beaches along the coast, a distance of approximately 50 miles. Some sections of the Coast Trail, primarily within the Half Moon Bay city limits, are already in place and suitable for multi-use. The Coast Trail would connect with the Bay Area Ridge Trail by means of the existing Montara Mountain Trail, as well as by other trails proposed in this plan. 4. Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail One of only eleven national historic trails, this trail represents the route taken by Juan Bautista de Anza in 1775-76 on his expedition from present-day Mexico across deserts and mountains to found a colony for Spain at San Francisco. Anza led a contingent of 240 people and over 1000 head of stock. Although the Anza party used a route that closely follows present-day El Camino Real in San Mateo County, the current volume of traffic along this route makes recreational use difficult. However, this route will be marked as the official historic trail. One recreational alternative for hikers and bicyclists is the Bay Trail, extending from the Santa Clara County line north to the City and County of San Francisco boundary. A second alternative for all users would follow the Lower Alpine Trail west from the Santa Clara County line at Arastradero Road, thence through Portola Valley and Woodside along part of the Sand Hill Trail to Whiskey Hill Road and from there to Canada Road. Following the Canada Trail to the Crystal Springs trails South and North, it would meet the Sawyer Camp Trail in the San Francisco Watershed. At the no end of the Sawyer Camp Trail the Anza Trail would follow the San Andreas Trail and then head up the hill toward the Bay Area Ridge Trail on the proposed San Andreas Trail Extension (see Proposed Trails #4, page 9).Equestrians not wishing to use the Sawyer Camp Trail may some day use the proposed Sawyer Camp Trail Alternate (see Proposed Trail #6, page 10). 1995 -rra-7Ts­Pra-n i rar s Plan COUNTY TRAILS-EXISTING The following are existing County trails outside County parks that are extensions of County trails and/or important connectors to federal, state, regional, county and city parks. NORTHERN SECTION Between San Francisco County Line and Highway 92 1. Trail from Junipero Serra County Park to San Bruno City Park—From the Live Oak Trail in Junipero Serra County Park this trail follows El Zanjon Creek gently downhill through an oak forest for .5 miles east. It is open to hikers only. 2. San Andreas Trail—This trail extends 2.1 miles northward from the north end of Sawyer Camp Trail at Hillcrest Boulevard oust north of Millbrae Avenue) to 1/4 mile south of San Bruno Avenue at Skyline Boulevard. Views of San Andreas Lake and Sweeney Ridge enhance this relatively level trail on an easement through San Francisco Watershed lands. Paved for 1.5 miles from the Larkspur Avenue trailhead to its present northern terminus, it is open to bicyclists, hikers and equestrians. (See San Andreas Trail Extension under Proposed County Trails.) 3. Sawyer Camp Trail—A historic route to the coast now closed to vehicular traffic, this trail extends for 6 miles south from Hillcrest Boulevard in Millbrae to Crystal Springs Road west of San Mateo along the east side of San Andreas and Lower Crystal Springs lakes. The wide trail is paved and open to bicyclists and hikers; equestrians use the unpaved edge of the trail. (See Sawyer Camp Trail Alternate under Proposed County Trails.) 4. Montara Mountain Trail—Starting from San Pedro Valley County Park near the Visitor Center this trail (open to hikers only) zigzags up the park's west ridge. It joins the existing McNee Ranch Trail on the north face of Montara Mountain, on which hikers and bicyclists can go to the top of the mountain or descend through McNee Ranch State Park to Montara State Beach. The 2.5-mile Montara Mountain Trail makes an important link in an east-west route from Sweeney Ridge to McNee Ranch State Park and the coast. 1995 7 Trails an CENTRAL SECTION — Existing trails Between Highway 92 and Highway 84 5. Crystal Springs Trail South--From the south side of Highway 92 at its eastem intersection with Highway 35 (Skyline Boulevard) to the northeast entrance of Huddart County Park at Raymundo Road, this 6-mile trail for hikers and equestrians stays on the west of Canada Road. It lies between Upper Crystal Springs Lake and Canada Road. About 3 miles from its northern end it passes the oak-bordered meadows fronting the Filoli estate. South of Edgewood Road it leaves the edge of Canada Road, borders Freeway 280 and then heads due west uphill to Huddart County Park. 6. Ralston Trail(Freeway 280 Overpass Trail)--Connecting the bike path on Ralston Road with Canada Road, this paved trail for hikers, bicyclists and equestrians arches over the 10-lane Freeway 280. It makes an important 1-mile connection between the Bay side cities and the trails in the San Francisco Watershed. 7. Sheep Camp Trait—This historic road winds 1 mile downhill from the eastern crest of the San Francisco Watershed lands, goes under Freeway 280 at the Vista Point off- ramp and then wanders through meadows and beside oak-covered knolls. it joins Canada Road 1/4 mile north of the Pulgas Water Temple. Across Canada Road is the Crystal Springs Trail South. & Edgewood Trait—This 1/2-mile trail connects the Crystal Springs Trail South to Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve. It begins at the junction of Canada and Edgewood roads and goes northeast on the south side of Edgewood Road and under Freeway 280, where it enters Edgewood County Park. This trail is for hikers and equestrians only. 9. Canada Trail—Approximately 3 miles in length, this trail connects the Crystal Springs Trail South to the Town of Woodside. It begins 1/4 mile south of Edgewood Road and runs southeast under Freeway 280 following the alignment of Canada Road. A paved trail for pedestrian and bicycle use on the east side of Canada Road begins at Jefferson Avenue and continues through the Town of Woodside to Woodside Road. Equestrians can use the unpaved, western side of Canada Road. 10.SkylinelMdge Trail—This trail connects Huddart County Park to Wunderlich County Park through the northwest corner of Teague Hill Open Space Preserve and the Bear Creek watershed of the California Water Service Co. A segment of the Say Area Ridge Trail, it begins at Kings Mountain Road opposite Huddart County Park and parallels Skyline Boulevard to the northwest entrance of Wunderlich County Park at Bear Gulch Road. This 5.1-mile trail is for hikers and equestrians. 11. Bayfront Expressway Trait—Connecting Menlo Park's Bayfront Park at Marsh Road to the trail along Highway 84 approaching the Dumbarton Bridge, this is a segment of the Bay Trail. it is a paved, 2-mile trail for pedestrians and bicyclists paralleling the east side of the Bayfront Expressway from Marsh Road to Highway 84 at University Avenue. ray s an 1995 SOUTHERN SECTION — Existing Trails Between Highway 84 and Santa Clara/Santa Cruz County Line 12. Bay Trail near Dumbarton Bridge—A short section of the Bay Trail goes south through MROSD's Ravenswood Open Space Preserve and continues to Bay Road in ' East Palo Alto. (Description appears in the Bay Trail section). 13. Sand Hill Trail—This 2.8-mile segment of "The Loop" circling P-ortola Valley has generous bike lanes beside Sand Hill Road from Whiskey Hill Road to Santa Cruz Avenue. Hikers and equestrians use an informal roadside path for 1.3 miles from Whiskey Hill Road to Freeway 280. Hikers continue 1.5 miles on paved sidewalks to Santa Cruz Avenue. 14. Lower Alpine Trail—The Alpine Road Hiking, Riding and Bicycle Trail and the Dwight F. Crowder Trail form a 5-mile off-road path from the Santa Cruz Avenue\ Junipero Serra Boulevard junction to the Alpine/Portola Road intersection. Part of7he Loop" around Portola Valley, this relatively level and paved trail beside Alpine Road passes the Stanford golf course, creekside woods, open fields, housing tracts and shopping centers. Bike lanes along Portola Road in Portola Valley join the Sand Hill Trail in Woodside; an equestrian trail exists on the east side of Portola Road through Woodside. 15. Upper Alpine Trait—This historic road, once the route to Pescadero and the coast, extends from a point 3 miles southwest of Portola Road, where a gate bars access to motor vehicles, to the trail's junction with Page Mill Road, a distance of 2.6 miles. Open to hikers, bicyclists and equestrians, it gains 1000 feet in elevation as it climbs beside Corte Madera Creek. It adjoins MROSD's Coal Creek Open Space Preserve on its northwest flank and Monte Bello Open Space Preserve at the Page Mill Road junction. 16. Basin Trail—This recently dedicated trail extends southeast from the existing Butano Ridge Loop Trail in Pescadero Creek County Park to the park boundary, then proceeds south along a narrow easement over private property to the boundary of Big Basin Redwoods State Park at China Grade Road. Since terms of the easement over private property prohibit bicycle use, the trail is open to hikers and equestrians only. The approximately 5.5-mile trail closes the last gap in a route that extends from Long Ridge Open Space Preserve through Portola State Park and Pescadero County Park to Big Basin State Park and on to the coast at Waddell Beach. Due to easemenet restrictions, bicycles are not permitted on the Basin Trail. 1995 -Trails an I rai s Plan COUNTY TRAILS PROPOSED NORTHERN SECTION Between San Francisco County Une and Highway 92 1. Trails from San Bruno Mountain State and County Park to Regional Trails Three trails linking San Bruno Mountain to the following regional trails are proposed: a. To the Ridge Trail in San Francisco—From the mountain's. north side a trail would connect with the Ridge Trail in San Francisco. b. To the Bay Trail—From the East Peak of San Bruno Mountain a trail would lead to the City of Brisbane and thence across Highway 101 to the Bay Trail at Sierra Point. c. To the Ridge Trail in San Mateo County—Following an unnamed fire trail down the mountain's west side a proposed route would follow city streets to reach the Ridge Trail at Milagra Ridge in the GGNRA. Z Valley View Trail Extension—Leaving San Pedro Valley County Park, this trail would go northeast from the highest point of the Park's existing Valley View Trail, skirting to the north of a private inholding and reaching Whiting Ridge Road. It would follow this fire road through the Portola Gate to join the Sweeney Ridge Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, part of the Ridge Trail. This 2-mile route would be suitable for hikers. 3. Old San Pedro Road Trail—A historic route said to have been used by Indians and later by stagecoaches from coastal cities to San Francisco, this proposed trail is on private property. If implemented for public trail use, it would connect the west side of Montara Mountain to areas in southern Pacifica. 4. San Andrew Trail Extension—Beginning at the north end of the existing San Andreas Trail, this 1-mile trail would extend northwest through a corner of the San Francisco Watershed to the north end of the existing Sneath Lane Trail. This latter trail, a paved road, leads to the trail network in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's Sweeney Ridge and to a segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. This trail would be open to hikers and equestrians. The San Andreas Trail Extension would be an extremely important connector trail, in that it would provide access west from North County cities to the Bay Area Ridge Trail on Sweeney Ridge, as well as south to the County's trail system, including the Sawyer Camp Trail. The San Andreas Trail Extension lies completely within the San Francisco Watershed's Scenic and Recreation Easement. 5. Scarper View Trail—This proposed trail would connect the San Mateo Coast state beaches to the San Francisco Watershed lands in the vicinity of Scarper Peak. Trails an _ l 6. Junipero Serra County Park to San Francisco Watershed Trail—This trail would provide access from Junipero Serra County Park and the cities of San Bruno and Millbrae to the San Andreas Trail in the Scenic and Recreation Easement of the Sin Francisco Watershed. Two possible alternatives are proposed: a. The first would leave Junipero Serra County Park' and follow a trail on the north side of Crystal Springs Road to Freeway 280. It would cross the Freeway on the Crestmoor Bridge, then descend through CalTrans rights-of-way to Skyline Boulevard. it would go north along the east side of Skyline Boulevard, crossing it to the San Andreas Trail entrance. b. A second alternative for this proposed trail would leave Junipero Serra Park at its southern tip, use the existing underpass beneath Freeway 280 and then join the Watershed trails (San Andreas and Sawyer Camp trails.) 7. Sawyer Camp Trail Alternate—A route between the section of Skyline Boulevard east of Crystal Springs Lake and the Sawyer Camp Trail is proposed to accommodate equestrians and hikers. Somewhat shorter than the existing trail, it would begin at the north end of the Sawyer Camp Trail and terminate near Crystal Springs Road. & San Mateo Creek Trait—This proposed multiple-use trail would run from Skyline Boulevard in the vicinity of Crystals Springs and Bunker Hill roads to the San Mateo city line. About half of the trail would be located on San Francisco Water Department right- of-way. Between Skyline Boulevard and Polhemus Road bicyclists would use Crystal Springs Road and hikers would use Old Stage Road. At Polhemus Road bicyclists would continue on Crystal Springs Road to the San Mateo city limit. At Polhemus Road hikers would cross Crystal Springs Road and proceed along the north side of San Mateo Creek following the San Francisco Water Department right-of-way. Immediately west of the intersection of Woodridge Road and Crystal Springs Road, hikers would cross Crystal Springs Road and San Mateo Creek and continue along the south side of the creek on Water Department right-of-way to the San Mateo city limit. The length of the proposed trail is approximately 3 miles. Because of the existence of rare and endangered plant species at several locations along the proposed trail, siting for the trail must be carefully implemented. A trail suitable for wheel chairs is proposed for a portion of this route along Crystal Springs Road. It would use a paved service road that follows the north side of San Mateo Creek for approximately one mile in the vicinity of Tartan Trail Road. 9. Crystal Springs Trail North—This would be an important 1.6-mile connector trail between the Sawyer Camp Trail and the Crystal Springs Trail South, which begins south of Highway 92. Starting at the south entrance to Sawyer Camp Trail, the Crystal Springs Trail North would pass over the Crystal Springs Dam, follow the Skyline Boulevard right-of-way and enter the San Francisco Watershed at the first westside service road gate. it would follow this paved service road, which lies west of the Bunker Hill interchange, and then return to Skyline Boulevard. 1995 Trails an Here, hikers and equestrians would cross to the east side of Skyline Boulevard and follow the old California State Riding and Hiking Trail easement to Highway 92. Bicyclists would use the shoulders of Skyline Boulevard. At the eastern Skyline Boulevard/Highway 92 intersection a pedestrian-controlled traffic light should be installed to facilitate joining the existing Crystal Springs Trail South. Alternatively, an overpass or underpass crossing Highway 92 should be explored. 775115 MaRn 4 —Traits Plan MAP 11 i PROPOSED TRAILS SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY LINE TO HIGHWAY 92 i Traits Man i I I i Trails Plan CENTRAL SECTION — Proposed Trails Between Highway 92 and Highway 84 10. Highway 92 Trail—CalTrans proposes improvements to Highway 92 from Freeway 280 to Half Moon Bay, a distance of 8 miles. This route is a crucial connector to the Ridge Trail from both the Coastside and Bayside. This highway corridor should accommodate a multi-use trail, as well as bike lanes on the highway. An alternate route south of the Highway 92 right-of-way and west of Skyline Boulevard could follow old farm roads in the area between Madonna and Mills creeks. 11. East Ridge Boundary Trail—Two trails are proposed along the east boundary of the San Francisco Watershed to link the Ralston Trail to the trails in Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve. One segment would begin at the east end of the arched span of the Ralston Trail, otherwise known as the Freeway 280 Overcrossing, and follow an abandoned road to the intersect with Sheep Camp Trail. The other proposed trail segment would begin at Sheep Camp Trail, run southwest, traverse a small piece of private land between the southern end of the Watershed and the existing trails in Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve. These proposed trails would be for hikers and equestrians. The additions to the East Ridge Boundary Trail would form the east side of a loop trip using the Crystal Springs Trail South; the trails in Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve, Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve, and the San Francisco Watershed; and the Ralston Trail. All Watershed trails in this loop are in the Scenic and Recreation Easement. 12- Crystal Springs Trail South Alternate--This proposal is a variation of the existing Crystal Springs Trail South (which runs from the intersection of Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) and Highway 92 to Huddart County Park.) From the Highways 35/92 intersection an existing trail follows the south side of 92 for less that 1/2 mile until reaching the first Watershed gate. There it would enter the Watershed and use an existing service road for approximately 1 mile until it crosses a levee and terminates at Canada Road across from the terminus of the Freeway 280/Ralston Trail, thus avoiding important plant habitat on serpentine soils. Then the existing trail continues to the Watershed Keeper's gate, where a proposed alternate would run farther west on an existing Watershed service road continuing south onto the Old Canada Road alignment. The trail would proceed south to the Pulgas Water Temple, where it would join the existing Crystal Springs Trail South to the intersection of Canada and Edgewood roads, and then continue on this trail to Huddart County Park. The distance from Highway 92 to Edgewood Road is approximately 4 miles. From there the trail continues 2.4 miles to Huddart County Park. 1995 17 TraiVs an 13. Pipeline Trail—This proposed trail would extend from the current terminus of the Edgewood Trail at the Day Camp Parking Area in Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve eastward to join the Bay Trail in East Palo Alto. Using the San Francisco Watershed right-of-way, the trail would run along the north side of Edgewood Road to Woodhue Court. From there it would continue due east along the right-of-way to the vicinity of Ravenswood Open Space Preserve, a total distance of approximately 7 miles. 14. Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park to the Coast—Two routes could reach the Coast Trail from Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park: a. The first route would follow the approximate alignment of Higgins Purisima Road northwest, cross Highway 1 at Poplar Street to reach Poplar County Beach or cross at Kelly Avenue to reach Half Moon Bay State Beach, a distance of 3 to 3.5 miles. These two beaches are joined by the Coast Trail. b. The second route would leave Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park at the junction of Mills Creek and Arroyo Leon, and then proceed southwest to Cowell Ranch State Beach, a distance of about 3 miles. 15. Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park to Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve—To complete a loop on the west side of Skyline Boulevard, this trail would trend south from upper Mills Creek in Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park and then southeast to trails along the north ridge of Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. The link would be approximately 1 mile and would be suitable for hikers and equestrians. 16. Purisima Creek Trail Extension to Coast—From the western end of Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve trails, this 6-mile extension would provide an important connector from the Ridge Trail to the coast. it would extend west along the side of Purisima Creek Road, then pass through the Cowell Ranch property of the Peninsula Open Space Trust, and continue to Cowell Ranch State Beach west of Highway 1. 17. Tunitas Creek Trails—Crossing properties recently acquired by the Peninsula Open Space Trust, the following two proposed trails would traverse the ridges on either side of Tunitas Creek, then join to reach the Coast via a route along lower Tunitas Creek: a. Purisima to the Coast via Irish Ridge—Leaving Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve in the vicinity of Bald Knob this 10-mile trail would connect to Irish Ridge Road and then follow the alignment of Tunitas Creek to the coast, where it would join the proposed Coast Trail near the old settlement of Tunitas. b. El Corte de Madera to the Coast—Leaving the southwest corner of El Corte de Madera Open Space Preserve this trail would traverse the east side of Tunitas Creek across the Peninsula Open Space Trust property where it would join the Irish Ridge route and follow the alignment of Tunitas Creek to reach the Coast Trail as in Trail 17a. The total distance of this trail would be about 6 miles. 8 Traiis P15F 1995 1& Skyline Trail Extension North—This 1.5-mile trail would be a continuation of the Skyline Trail northward from Huddart County Park through the recently acquired Phleger Estate lands on the eastern side of Skyline �°nateaa ulevrd to Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. This could be an al gnment for the Bay Area Ridge Trail. 19.Harrington Creek Trail—This approximately 1 0-mile trail would leave the south end of La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve and cross Highway 84 west of La Honda to enter Sam McDonald County Park. Rights-of-way for three county roads exist in the general area. These could be used to implement trails. 1995 ME an Trails Plan a MAP III PROPOSED TRAILS HIGHWAY 92 TO HIGHWAY 84 y i i ra7i s an 1 �i Trails Plan 27. Butano to Cascade Ranch Trail—This trail would run for about 1.25 miles south from the southwestern corner of Butano State Park to connect with the Cascade Ranch trail system. 28. Gatos Creek TraM—Gazos Creek Road leaves Highway 1 at Gazos Creek State Beach and continues northeast about 8 miles along Gatos Creek to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The road is paved from Highway 1 to the junction with Cloverdale Road, then is gated and unpaved to Big Basin Park. Although this road provides access to a few private properties, it is publicly-owned and maintained and should be designated as a multi-use recreational trail. It is accessible to hikers, equestrians and bicyclists. 1995 4_ ray s an SOUTHERN SECTION — Proposed Trails Between Highway 84 and the Santa Clara/Santa Cruz County Line 20. Bay Trail near Dumbarton Bridge--There are two gaps in the Bay Trail between the Dumbarton Bridge approach road and Palo Alto's section of the trail at Runnymede Street in East Palo Alto. These gaps are discussed under the San Francisco Bay Trail in section 2 of Regional Trails—Existing and Proposed. 21. Old Page Mill Road Trai"eginning at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve and the Bay Area Ridge Trail, this trail would follow the alignment of Old Page Mill Road west to Portola State Park, a distance of approximately 3.5 miles. Old Page Mill Road is a historic logging route between the former Page's Mill in present-day Portola State Park and San Francisco Bay. 22. Slate Creek Trait—This proposed trail would connect Long Ridge Open Space Preserve with Portola State Park and ultimately, via the proposed Pomponio Trail, with the coast. It would replace the Doherty Ridge Trail, shown on earlier County trail plans. It would follow existing School Road and some abandoned logging roads near Slate Creek, a tributary of Pescadero Creek, for a distance of approximately 1.5 miles, to join the existing Page's Mill site in Portola State Park. 23. Trails from Memorial County Park to the Coast—These trails would be extensions of an existing trail which starts in Portola State Park and continues through Pescadero Creek County Park to Memorial County Park. In Memorial County Park the existing trail follows Goat Hill Ridge to the park boundary. From there two possible alternative routes to the coast exist: a. Pomponio Trait—The first route would connect to Pomponio Creek Road, then follow Stage Road north to Pomponio State Beach property and then go west along the creek to the beach. The total length of this route is approximately 8 miles. b. Pescadero Beach Trait—A second route would use the Honsinger Creek watershed to reach Pescadero Road and then continue on to Pescadero State Beach. The total length of this route would be approximately 9 milei. 24. Butano Fire Trail Extension--This trail is proposed to stretch from a point near the eastern boundary of Butano State Park lands to Big Basin Redwoods State Park, a distance of about 4.5 miles. 25. Bean Hollow Trail—This trail would extend from the southwestern corner of Butano State Park west to Bean Hollow State Beach, a distance of approximately 4.5 miles. 26. Pigeon Point TraX—This approximately 2.5-mile trail would run from the southwestern corner of Butano State Park west to Pigeon Point. 1995 23 Trails an MAP IV PROPOSED TRAILS HIGHWAY 84 TO SANTA CLARAISA N TA C R UZ COUNTY LINE 1995 ray an 1 d i rai s PlaF I` Appendix I Members of the Trails Advisory Committee 1987 - 1995 Patricia Barrett, Chairman 1993 Stephen Buckhout Betsy Crowder, Co-Chairman 1994 Cheryl Davi Linda Dyson, Chairman 1991-1992 William Freedman Elly Hess Donald Macintosh Cyn Moresco* Rick Payne Bobbi Petrov, Chairman 1995 Bruce Puckett Glenn Rankin* Terri Rasmussen,* Chairman 1987-91 John Rawlings* Lew Reed, deceased 1991 Jean Rusmore, Co-Chairman 1994 Hassan Schroeder Tracy Dekelboum-Smith Frances Spangle* Berry Stevens Marian Vanden Bosch Marilyn Walter Mary Claire Wellman David Christy, Director, Division of Parks and Recreation, 1983-93 Patrick Sanchez, Director, Division of Parks and Recreation, 1993-present Ron Weaver, Park Ranger IV, Staff Liaison, 1991-92 Bob Emert, Park Superintendent, Staff Liaison, 1992-present Florence Kinsey, Delineator John Kenney, Park Ranger IV, cover design * Resigned Acknowledgments The San Mateo County Trails Advisory Committee wishes to thank the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council for the generous -loan of its base maps for the preparation of the maps in this Plan.

OVERVIEW OF MARCH 9&23 ALTERNATIVE FUNDING COMMITT`EE(PARK BALLOT COMMITTEE 1*V=INGS Basically these two AFC1P&Vf meetings reviewed the status and potential ofe-rploring a coalition with libraries and schools for a sales tax ballot measure;raised several questions as to process to be compiled so they can be addressed fully as soon as practical;agreed to meet only as necessary so energies can be directed to investigating the feasibility of coalition ballot mesure. March 9, 1995-AFCIPBM MEETING Reviewed `history'sheet;identified potential sub-committees that would be needed to complete pre and post ballot measure tasks;reviewed capital development project form;discussed the need to prioritize park projects and develop some means for new projects to be considered;received correspondence from Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District indicating an interest in formally participating in the ballot measure effort ;indicated strong need for a new voter survey to determine if parks,schools,libraries coalition would be supported by voters;indicated interest in what we can learn from the schools last ballot measure which failed;indicated need to determine if the coalition will work as soon as possible so as to not de-rail parks efforts. March 23, 1995-AFC/PBM MEETING Reviewed San Mateo Times article and editorial;supported response to the editorial; reported that at the March 13, 1995 Interim Steering Committee meeting with the schools and library representatives it was decided that Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District would participate under the 'Parks' section of the coalition;reported that the first Coalition Steering Committee meeting for the parks,schools and libraries coalition was scheduled for May 12, 1995 and that a list of potential members was being compiled;suggested that consideration be oa given to an independent chair for the coalition ballot measure committee, reported that a packet of information is being developed to send to interested parties who may wish to help; that suggested that there be volunteer school and library representatives on the Coalition Steering Committee. The following questions were asked: Is there a sales tax ceiling; when are various school districts and/or cities going to have tax measures on the ballot; when will the going County Superintendent of Schools be on the ballot; can anyone come to the 4 Coalition Steerina Committee meeting on May 12, 1995; what is the status of the 0 Z� legislative amendment to add libraries and parks? It was agreed that until the Coalition Steering Committee is formed the Alternative Funding Committee should meet only as necessary. Linda Dyson, Linda Liebes and Wim deWit/Bill Royce will be representing the interests of the whole Alternative FundinF-Committee at the meetings with the representatives from the schools and libraries.

THE ATTACHED ARTICLE,EDITORIAL,AND `PROPOSAL FOR ANEW BALLOT MEASURE' ARE FOR YOUR INFORMATION. PROPOSAL FOR A NEW BALLOT IVIEEASURE Three groups, the San Mateo county Parks and Recreation Department, the County Library system, and the San Mateo County Public Schools, have begun discussing a possible united effort to place a sales tax measure on the November 1996 ballot to raise supplementary funds for local schools, city and county parks and libraries. While discussion among these three groups is a recent development, the current effort to raise additional funds goes back to February 1993, when a group of citizens began investigating alternative funding sources for local parks and recreation activities. After hearing the citizen group's report, the Board of Supervisors, in November of 1994, created a steering committee to explore the development of a ballot measure to raise supplementary funds for the county and city park systems. Simultaneously and separately, the San Mateo County School Superintendents Association had been discussing the feasibility of a tax measure to provide funding for the specific areas of student health and safety , access to technology, and fiscal equity. When these two groups became aware of each other's efforts, a meeting was scheduled and additional groups with funding needs, park and open space districts and city & county libraries, were added to the potential coalition. While these three groups are diverse in their specific missions, for residents they have commonality in their mutual desire to enhance the quality of life of San Mateo County. The end result of the meeting was a decision to explore a joint effort to raise needed funds by means of 1996 sales tax ballot measure. oria -, Be Thursday,March 23.1895 The Times A co nvi n ci n - cas e . must be made far a countywide tax hike he quality of a community is often judged by the strength of its schools,parks and libraries. So when someone asks us to support them,our first inclination is to say,"Of course."And then,later, .we think about the costs and weigh them against-the potential _. :results. - 4 Such may have been the case over the weekend when 83 'percent of the respondents to The Times'informal Teletimes =poll said they would support a countywide sales-tax hike to provide more funds for San Mateo County's schools,parks and libraries. County officials who are involved in the embryonic stages of such an inititiative then should not take the early poll to heart. Before any kind of real judgment can be made,many questions need to be answered. This much we know.The coalition of county officials believe a half-cent boost in sales tax will generate$40 million to$42 million a year. —With their share of the money,county schools would hope to pay for new technology and a nebulous category defined as school safety,which runs the gamut from gang-prevention _education to school security systems.Another portion would pay for bringing equity to lower performing schools: The county Parks and Recreation Department sees its -share paying for the purchase of new parks and capital improvements in existing parks. The people in the county library system would use the money to restore library hours,buy books and make structural improvements in library buildings. These are all worthwhile projects and maybe the only way to fund them is through a sales-tax hike.But tax hikes are always a risk to a county's economy.A half-cent hike,from 8.25 to 8.75 percent,would make San Mateo County's sales tax the highest in the Bay Area. It doesn't take much to envision residents going to Santa Clara,Santa Cruz or Marin counties,where the sales-tax rates are lower,to buy big-ticket items like appliances and furniture because of significant tax savings. It's also risky business presenting tax hikes to voters. Measure A.the-Best Schools initiative,in 1991 called for a .half-cent tax hike,too.It was designed to pay for many of the things that schools hope to pay for this time.It failed miserably because voters simply weren't ready for additional taxes on their purchased goods.Perhaps they didn't trust that the money would go to what they intended it for. Too often we have heard those complaints.New money creates new bureaucracies which make it near to impossible to keep track of where the money is going and who's getting it. As the sponsors of the initiative move ahead,they must offer the public a detailed description of what is needed and how much it will take to pay for each need.Some measure of accountability will also be necessary. As they should,voters will demand a clear picture of what they're getting in return for their vote and their tax money. Otherwise,this measure will be traveling the same road as the Best Schools Initiative. 1,,fE�.l�, +t.
