Missing Links in the trail system

Missing links can result in a little-used trail system. Here we point out key gaps in the trail system outlined in other parts of this plan.

Dish system to Matadero Creek trail connection

This is a key component of the proposed trail system. A service road already exists along the proposed route.

Arastadero Road gap

There's a short gap between the Arastadero Preserve and Alpine Road along Arastadero Road. For part of this section, an informal trail exists along the frontage of private property, but there is a gap of several hundred feet near the two-lane bridge next to the Alpine Inn. This gap forces runners and equestrians onto the pavement. This particular gap has been a nuisance and hazard for trail users for at least twenty years. Traffic increases in recent years have made it more of a problem.

This site is operated by a group of Stanford-area people, many of whom are Stanford alumni.
It is not an official site of Stanford University.
