San Ramon commission reviews trails master plan, asks staff to streamline executive summary
Summary
The Parks & Community Services Commission reviewed a 20-year Trails Master Plan that prioritizes connections such as Old Ranch Park and Forest Home Farms, heard that the plan is rooted in more than 800 survey responses, and directed staff to tighten the plan's flow and executive summary before it goes to City Council.
The San Ramon Parks & Community Services Commission on Wednesday reviewed a draft Trails Master Plan that lays out a 20-year vision for trail connectivity and a prioritization matrix for capital projects. Staff and consultants emphasized the plan is a framework for what the city could do, not a set of shovel-ready projects.
Emily Carpenter of Design Workshop, the consultant team, told the commission the planning process produced "more than 800 survey responses, 93% of which were from, residents of San Ramon," and that the plan emphasizes connections between neighborhoods, parks and regional open space. The presentation highlighted top priorities including a trailhead and connections at Old Ranch Park, a trailhead at Forest Home Farms and loop improvements in the Faria Preserve area.
