Pedestrian Projects
CBPAC is finalizing a Pedestrian Transportation Plan that will be presented to City Council in 2001. The plan will contain recommendations for improving pedestrian facilities around Cupertino. It will include:
pedestrian safety
crosswalks and pedestrian signals
closing sidewalks gaps
shortcuts, pathways, and bridges
Bicycle Projects
In 1998 City Council approved the Cupertino Bicycle Transportation Plan recommended by CBPAC. You can receive a copy of the plan by contacting Diane Arrants at (408) 777-3245. The document lists transportation implementation plans that address:
bicycle routes
bicycle parking
bicycle education and safety
bicycle promotion
Trail Projects
CBPAC also advocates the creation of trails for recreation and transportation that connect scenic vistas and historical landmarks. Trails will be auto-free, mixed-use for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
The proposed Union Pacific Railroad Trail follows the Union Pacific train tracks from Cupertino's Stevens Creek Boulevard south to Los Gatos' Winchester Boulevard along the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The level trail will stretch nine miles and connect neighborhoods, parks, two community colleges, and several business centers. It also connects the Los Gatos Creek Trail at one end to the Stevens Creek Trail at the other.
The great Stevens Creek Trail will stretch from the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. It was first conceived in the early 1960's and written into the Santa Clara County General Plan. Today the 54 mile trail is complete except for a 5-mile gap from Cupertino to Mountain View. When finished the trail would link Rancho San Antonio Park, Montebello Open Space Reserve, Stevens Creek County Park, and McClellan Ranch in Cupertino to Shoreline Park on the bay.
