Option A: Briarwood Path 

This option makes use of an existing easement across two private, residential parcels. The County retained a bicycle/pedestrian path easement when it sold this property to the developer of the homes. The developer in turn had the owners of the new homes sign a deed disclosure acknowledging the presence of the easement.

Option B: BART Path

DRAFT
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE

Option B: BART Property Path

This option makes use of the BART Right-of-Way immediately to the north west of the track. After additional review an optional route has been recently added to avoid the BART gap breaker structure located at the end of Clemson Court in the BART right-of-way. Given the fencing requirements related to this piece of equipment, the path would have to be moved towards the BART track (into the toe of the slope) requiring a retaining wall. BART staff suggested the optional alignment bringing the path on the other side of the structure to eliminate the need for a retaining wall.

Option C: Clemson Court/BART Path

This option makes use of an existing sidewalk along Clemson Court and the BART right-of-way immediately to the north west of the track.

Option D: Existing Route (Bancroft Road, Mayhew Way, Iron Horse Trail)

This is the existing route that is being reviewed based on some requests at the November 18^th workshop. This route makes use of Bancroft Road, Mayhew Way and the Iron Horse trail.
