When complete, it will provide off street connections from Alviso to Morgan Hill. The 1.65-mile segment from Selma Olinder Park to Phelan Rd. brings the city one step closer to completing this important trail network. This segment also contributes to the 395th mile of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. In partnership with Valley Water, the City's first pilot SJPD Trail Patrol will enhance trail user safety with a 10-hour, seven-day per week patrol. The Trail Safety Plan is the second multi-agency pilot which aims to keep the trail healthy, maintained, and inviting to trail users. After the ribbon-cutting, community members are encouraged to head to the Viva CalleSJ route for active fun. Viva CalleSJ closes 4.5 miles of streets to traffic, providing an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to play and explore the City as they walk, bike, skate, or wheel through open streets. Along the route, there will be multiple activity hubs, where participants can stop and enjoy food trucks, live music, and activities for the whole family. The route has no beginning or end and flows both ways, so participants can join at any point.
