I received this note from the city of Santa Clara today. Work on the trail is well underway.
“Thank you for your inquiry regarding the San Tomas Aquino Creek Spur Trail Project. This Project will be an extension to the existing San Tomas Aquino/Saratoga Creek Trail, adding approximately 2,000 feet of trail southerly from Cabrillo Avenue to El Camino Real along the westerly side of San Tomas Expressway.
“The Project includes construction of the trail (10 ft to 12 ft wide), 10-foot-high sound wall, concrete barrier between the trail and the expressway, landscaping, and modification to the traffic signal at San Tomas Expressway and Cabrillo Avenue intersection.”
