Hello Fritz,
Thanks for your call earlier and I apologize for the misunderstanding with the project description on the website. I have included some selected photos of the southern loop of the trail
where nearly all of the work will be conducted, as well as a kmz showing the trail loop and the east and west ends of the widening/improvement along the southern loop. The northern
loop will be largely untouched other than one new bench area where there is already existing disturbance; the northern loop is an SCE access road for some transmission towers alongside
it so the road is already quite wide on the north. On the southern loop there is trail widening along most of the length that I’ve highlighted as well as some isolated occurrences of
gabion wall installations, stair installations, and new benches. The “drainage crossings” referred to on the City website refer simply to diversions to take rainfall off of the trail
during rain events. As you can see from the kmz and if you manipulate your viewpoint in Google Earth, the southern loop is at the top of the slope. There is nothing above it and no
waterways crossing through it; it is completely dry with no possibility of water unless it rains due to its position at the apex of the slope. The only waterway in the project area
is the one down at the bottom of the canyon between the north and south loop trails, which will not be touched and will not have any construction anywhere near it.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or if you’d still like to meet on-site to verify in person next week; the City has also expressed interest in attending if so.
Thank you!
