Santa Clara County To Help Fund Alpine Regional Trail Project

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA — The Alpine Trail project, which would create a 2.3-mile regional trail for San Mateo County and Santa Clara county hikers, cyclists and equestrians, received over $272,000 in funding from Santa Clara County.

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved the funding during a meeting last week.The trail would connect the Page Mill Road to the town of Portola Valley and several of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's preserves along the Santa Cruz Mountains. A prior trial was closed in 1979 due to poor road conditions and multiple washouts.
The funding will allow Midpen, which oversees the project, to repurposes an abandoned segment of Alpine Road as a essential trail linkage connecting the valley floor to the Skyline coordinator, and mitigate sedimentation from an unpaved road affecting water quality at Corte Madera Creek, according to Ana Ruiz, General Manager at the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District."Midpen is grateful to the County for funding this important regional trail," Ruiz said.

Supervisor Joe Simitian spearheaded a collaboration with San Mateo County partners and Stanford University to expand trail access and recreational facilities."The Alpine Road Trail is a really great reminder that when we work together, we can accomplish so much more," Simitian said. "I'm pleased that our county is able to provide funding to help Midpen complete this significant trail segment. It will be enjoyed by generations of hikers, cyclists, and equestrians for a very long time."
In 2012, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved over $10 million in funding on projects intended to mitigate the loss of recreational facilities because of development on the Stanford campus.Eight years later, Simitian suggested an expenditure of funds from the Stanford Recreation Mitigation Fund for San Mateo County projects affected by Stanford-related development.
