Guadalupe River Trail Bike Connections Plan - Community Workshop

Join us on September 25th to hear the latest updates to Guadalupe River Trail Connections Plan.

At this community workshop, we will share draft concept designs for improvements at two priority locations identified through previous rounds of engagement. Additionally, we will share a concept wayfinding sign plan for a third location along the Guadalupe River Trail and other corridor recommendations. Participants will be able to provide comments and feedback on the draft designs and engage with the project team. Community input from the first two phases of engagement was essential in shaping the work that we are sharing at this meeting.

Project Background

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 no 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

Please visit the project site for more information on the plan including a project map and timeline.

Please note:The River Oaks Cafe is located in Building C on the VTA campus.

Building C is in the corner of VTA's campus that is furthest from North First Street and River Oaks Place intersection.
