Segment 17BLength: 3.58 miles (18,920 LF) - Buena Vista Drive and San Andreas Road intersection to Lee Road and rail line intersection via San Andreas Road/West Beach Street/Segment 18A/Lee Road. Segment length does not include Segment 18A length. Segment 17B cost and distance not reflected in project summary table nor total project figures.

4.17.1 SEGMENT 17 BOUNDARY DETERMINATION

Segment 17AThe boundary is determined by the physical setting and the change in rail corridor character from the northern starting point at San Andreas Road down the coast to Harkins Slough, a primary branch of Watsonville Slough. This is the one (1) spot where the rail corridor diverts away from the coastal edge and heads inland as it continues down the coast to Watsonville.

Segment 17BThe boundary is determined by the intersection of the rail line at Buena Vista Drive and San Andreas Road and proceeding downcoast to West Beach Street via existing San Andreas Road on-street facilities and then northeast to the intersection of West Beach Street and Thurwacher Road. The down coast boundary is determined by connecting via Lee Road back to the Segment 18 Coastal Rail Trail.

4.17.2 SEGMENT 17 DESCRIPTION

Segment 17AStarting from the intersection crossing at San Andreas Road and Buena Vista Drive, the proposed Coastal Rail Trail will parallel Gallighan Slough to its convergence with Harkins Slough, following the inland side of the rail tracks. The rail right-of-way width varies from forty-five- (45-) feet wide to one-hundred-and-forty-eight- (148-)feet wide as it continues along the steep slope just down the coast from mile marker 7 to mile marker 4.5 at the Harkins Slough trestle. The Segment 17 stretch will require retaining walls to create a bench for the trail tread. This segment is heavily wooded with several smaller rail trestle bridge crossings over small drainages and sloping ravines.

The proposed Coastal Rail Trail will follow the inland rail right-of-way along several agricultural fields, a mineral quarry, and wooded slopes as it descends towards the Gallighan Slough-Harkins Slough wetland area. The alignment will require several preengineered bridges and culverts to cross several of the drainages along the steep slopes. Harkins Slough is the largest freshwater slough in California’s Central Coast region, and the four-hundred- (400-) foot crossing of the slough may require a boardwalk bridge structure adjacent to the rail line to


reach down the coastal side of the slough. A possible interim alignment will divert the trail from the rail line at Gallighan Slough to an on-road alignment at Rountree Lane, Harkins Slough Road, and Lee Road, and will reconnect with the rail at the Lee Road junction. (This alignment was not evaluated or identified in this Master Plan.) The trail will require fencing along the agricultural operations and there is one (1) private, agricultural, dirt road, non-signalized rail crossing west of Lee Road. This segment connects with four (4) activity centers identified in Table 3.1.

Segment 17A proposed improvements include:

• 4.0 miles (21,140 LF) multi-use paved path (Class I) along the inland rail right-of-way

• Seven (7) rail bridge/culvert crossings of varying lengths

• One (1) private farm road crossing (one-half [1/2] mile west of Lee Road)

• One (1) private road crossing at Buena Vista Drive and one (1) additional private crossing

• This segment also includes fencing for agricultural operations and safety; additional fencing may be considered when project is implemented

Segment 17BStarting from the intersection crossing at Buena Vista Drive and San Andreas Road, the project would utilize the existing San Andreas Road on-street network to provide connectivity to West Beach Street, then northeast to the intersection of West Beach Street and Thurwacher Road (southwest terminus of Coastal Trail segment 18A). San Andreas Road serves as the Pacific Coast Bicycle Route and connects down coast via West Beach Street and Thurwacher Road to Monterey County.

The Segment 17B alignment will utilize Coastal Trail segment 18A along West Beach Street to reach the intersection of West Beach Street and Lee Road. Segment 17B will continue from this intersection north along Lee Road back to the Rail Trail at the Segment 18 up coast terminus. This portion of Segment 17B will require development of on-street facilities.

Segment 17B proposed improvements include:

• 3.31 miles (17,490 LF) - Improvements to existing bicycle lane (Class II) facilities along San Andreas Road to West Beach Street

• 0.13miles (680 LF) - Improvements to existing bicycle lane (Class II) facilities along West Beach Street to Thurwacher Road

• 0.14 miles (750 LF) - Development of bicycle lane (Class II) facilities along Lee Road to the Rail Trail Segment 18 up coast terminus

Note: Segment 17B improvements are not costed out on page 4-94 nor is the mileage reflected in the total project mileage. Segment 17A improvements are costed out for planning purposes only and are not to indicate an alignment preference.

For Segment 17 there shall be established a joint planning and implementation task force to make recommendations to the RTC and any other implementing agency prior to any trail design, development, or construction activities for this segment. The task force shall consider alternative trail alignments, including those identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report, for Segment 17 and recommend a final alignment. Membership on the task force shall include representation from adjacent property owners recommended by the County Farm Bureau, representation from the disabled community as recommended by the Commission on Disabilities, and representation from the bicycle community.
