Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Saratoga, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

This project will fund the design, environmental review and construction of a walkway from Saratoga Village to Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park. When complete, this project will result in construction of a walkway from Saratoga Village, past Hakone Gardens, to Quarry Park. The project will be implemented over several phases. Phase I of the project will begin with a pathway between the Village and Hakone Gardens, phase II will extend the walkway to the Quarry Park East Entrance, and the third and final stage will continue the trail to the Quarry Park Main Entrance. Currently, only the design of phase 1 is funded. Developing a pedestrian connection from the Village to Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park will enhance and enliven Saratoga Village, as the project would help to bring foot traffic to the Village, Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park. Additionally, the project will provide a safer path of travel for pedestrians who are currently walking along the highway when the parking lot at Hakone Gardens is full. The path will also serve as a critical starting point for the Saratoga-toSea Trail that is part of the Santa Clara County Trail Master Plan. The Saratoga-to-Sea Trail will begin in Saratoga Village, travel up to Hakone Gardens and Quarry Park, through the existing Sanborn-Skyline and Skyline-to-the-Sea trail systems to the Pacific Ocean. In FY 2016-17, $50,000 was allocated from the CIP reserve and FY 2017-18 Council authorized an additional allocation of $100,000 from Park Development fees to fund the design of phase I of this project. Construction costs for phase I are estimated at $1.9 million. The City Council allocated $175,000 in FY 2019-20, $25,000 in FY 2020- 21, and $150,000 in FY 2022-23, if approved, from the CIP reserve towards construction to serve as the City's 20 percent local match should grant funding become available. Recent Federal legislation awarded $1.52 million to support this project. The project is included in the City's 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
