Yes. Always faster. It does seem that the city is going too slowly.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 16, 2022, at 11:59, Erik Lindskog <erikli...@yahoo.com> wrote:

The city just got the funding to study building the trail. You might be able to find more info about it on the city website. The city will likely look for funding at the state and county level.-Ari

For some context on the Stevens Creek Trail, as one local trail examples from the Friends of Stevens Creek Trail website:"For over 50 years, a multi-use trail has been envisioned along the creek corridor of Stevens Creek. The cities and the counties have wisely reserved over 100 acres along the creek for public access, and have rejected previous plans to replace the natural creek bed with a cemented channel. In 1961 a brochure was even published by Santa Clara County describing the "Stevens Creek Park Chain" and showing much of the route on the land as it still exists today. This accompanied the construction of Highway 85 between Hwy 101 in Mountain View and Hwy 280 in Cupertino."Yeah, patience of saints can be necessary!Bruce England

I think Mountain View did a good job in the El Camino Precise Plan to require easements for passages from El Camino Real to Latham or other parallel streets (there are a couple of them available already); hopefully similar requirements were put in place in other Precise Plans.But as you point out it's contingent on redevelopment. Without redevelopment, getting these easements on private parcels would most likely require eminent domain (legally complex and onerous process).Outside of Precise Plans areas, there are also opportunities when a parcel redevelops. We managed to get cut-through path when the Water District built a flood basin at McKelvey (a path now connects Mountain View Avenue and Mramonte) but that required a lot of lobbying despite it being all public land.

reminds me of this life-sized city video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAEYUQAe9Gc
talks about this at the 10-minute mark
In Mountain View the city is trying to create a system of paseos, or ped/bike only shortcuts. This is good but could be improved.
The system works by getting concessions from new development to add ped paths (for example the new underpass from Villa).
But because if this it relies on (1) developer's willingness to add the paths and (2) Properties actually getting developed. Between Chiquita and Ortega there are some huge blocks that really need to be subdivided, but as they are already high-density and full of "naturally affordable" housing I am not sure I want there to be too much development there. Additionally most useful paths would need multiple lots to connect, and the likelihood of two such lots being redeveloped together is very very small.
So we got the new paseo from ECR to Latham, but we will never get it to continue to California. Double frustrating because the parking lots for those developments are right next to each other. All that is needed is a public access easement and a gap in the fence...
I would really like to see some standards around active transit that explicitly improve this situation. Not sure what they would be though. A dedicated fund to purchase land? Some public access requirements for developments in areas with larger block sizes?

Those cut-throughs are wonderful - I love using them and there are many hidden gems in the South Bay. Unfortunately, as Serge points out, many of them have these dreadful barriers that are dangerous for trailers and cargo bikes. Some are so bad that even regular bikes have a problem getting through without dismounting. In my view they are dangerous, because they are often at the end of a bicycle bridge where you really need to be paying attention to cross-traffic and steep kerbs (one of the worst examples is the bridge at Cheyenne in San José, but there are many more).
