Status: Construction

Location:

Existing utility maintenance corridor behind Deerwood St, from Grande Vista Ave to Stone Blvd. Clarendon St from Norfolk Ave to Granda Vista Ave.

 Scope of Project:

The Sycamore Trail Extension Phase III project transforms an existing utility maintenance corridor behind Deerwood Street into a safe, low-stress, and comfortable route for walking, bicycling, and other active transportation. The Class I trail will include amenities such as a Class- I bike path, decomposed granite pedestrian paths, benches, lighting, shaded trees and landscaping. This project extends the City's signature Sycamore Trail south by transforming an underutilized City corridor into a Class I shared-use path that strengthens connectivity and provides a safe, low-stress route through the heart of the City.

Background:

In 2013, the City adopted the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plan (BPTMP) with the vision of providing one of the nation's top bicycle and pedestrian friendly communities. The BPTMP promoted bicycling and walking as practical modes of transportation within the community by laying out an updated vision of connected bikeways, walkways, and trails that link together the neighborhoods, places of employment, shopping centers, parks, and schools. Included in the 2013 Master Plan was the Sycamore Trail, a five-phase project that extends south from Sacramento Avenue near Yolo Street across the State Highway Route (SHR) 50 and the Barge Canal to the Lake Washington Boulevard and Jefferson Boulevard intersection.  

When the City updated the BPTMP on July 18, 2018, the City renewed its commitment to the Sycamore Trail and listed it as one of its signature projects. On August 22, 2018, the City Council adopted the final Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Sycamore Trail Phase II and III Project. 

The City completed Phase I of the Sycamore Trail in April of 2019. The first phase provides a multi-use paved trail and trail amenities that connect Westfield Park to Joey Lopes Park.

As of July of 2025, the City has substantially completed Phase II of the Sycamore Trail. The second phase provides a pedestrian overcrossing over US-50 connecting phase one improvements at Joey Lopes Park with Westmore Oaks Elementary School.

Project Benefits:

• Continued development of multi-modal alternatives for the residents of the City.
• Increased opportunity for cardiovascular exercise amenities for people of all ages, improving their health and well-being, and reducing health care costs.
• Reduction in air pollution and the consumption of nonrenewable resources by replacing automobile trips with bicycling and walking trips.
• Reduced transportation costs.
• Reduced traffic – bicycling and walking are viable alternatives for many short trips, including trips to work or the store.
