This project will provide for connecting two existing trails from Broadmoor Street to Vasco Road and Laughlin Road to Brushy Peak/Del Valle Trail. In addition conduct sediment management activites thorugh construction of a sedimentation basin in Altamont Creek upstream of Laughlin Road Crossings and removing sediment along 145 feet of Altamont creek to restore channel capacity. As environmental mitigation, creation of 1.2 acres of wetlands is included.
There is a need to evaluate the sediment issues through preparation of a geomorphic analysis and subsequent Sediment Management Study for Altamont Creek, Arroyo las Positas, and Line S. In addition, this project will provide connectivity between existing trails in order to create a system of regional trails.
