Community Workshop on Guadalupe River Trail Bike Connections

The Guadalupe River Trail (GRT) provides vital connectivity for people on bikes to reach neighborhoods and job centers within and outside of San José. However, seasonal flooding at low points on the trail can make sections of the trail inaccessible. Trail closures resulting from floods force people to take longer and potentially riskier routes on the streets.

This plan is not meant to replace any long-term projects designed to prevent trail flooding. Instead, it will focus on proposing short-term solutions through street improvements. These improvements can help keep trail users connected all year, even when there is flooding.

The plan looks to address trail closures by:

• Finding parallel street routes to use when the trail floods
• Suggesting changes to these parallel routes to make them safer and more convenient for people biking
• Creating safe, clear, and well-marked routes that are easy to follow
