Project Overview

The Multi-Use Trail Rehabilitation Project originated from a District-wide assessment of TCPUD’s 23 mile multi-use trail network. The assessment resulted in identification and prioritization of portions of the trail network to be rehabilitated to improve safety and to address pavement conditions.

TCPUD began the project by reconstructing the North Shore Trail in 2024. Reconstruction of the West Shore Trail will happen in phases over several years. In 2025 we will reconstruct approximately 2.4 miles of trail between Sunnyside and Idlewild Way.

2025 West Shore Trail Reconstruction

Project Overview

The West Shore Trail was first built in the 1970s, and hasn't been meaningfully reconstructed since. TCPUD will reconstruct approximately 2.4 miles of trail between Sunnyside and Idlewild Way in 2025. 

Reconstruction will address pavement failure, slope and alignment issues, visibility (both vehicular and pedestrian), safety, ADA compliance, and drainage.

2024 North Shore Trail Reconstruction

Project Overview

TCPUD prioritized the North Shore Trail as the first phase for construction due to its existing condition, high use, and to coordinate with a Caltrans Highway 28 construction project. The Project included safety enhancements such as painting driveway crossings and installing additional signage. Pavement restoration included patching, sealing, and repaving. We also realigned sections of the trail to make them safer.

Project Status

We are pleased to announce that the North Shore Trail Reconstruction Project is now complete!  

The project, which began in June 2024, involved reconstructing and repaving more than two miles of trail, installing 125 safety markers, signs, and poles, and realigning critical segments of the trail. This work was done to make the trail safer and smoother for all users. 

We deeply appreciate our community's patience and cooperation while we upgraded this vital recreation infrastructure for residents and visitors to enjoy for years to come.
