Save Our Trails is proud of the accomplishments we have achieved in the short time since our founding in 2009. We’ve established working relationships with several other like-minded community organizations:

o Friends of the Five Wounds Trail o Friends of the Stevens Creek Trail o Guadalupe River Park Conservancy o San Jose Parks Foundation o Friends of the Coyote Creek Watershed o Coyote Meadows Coalition

Our main focus to date has been on implementation of the , along the path of an abandoned railroad which formerly served canneries in central San Jose. Our intervention was instrumental in preserving the right-of-way of the western half of the trail, and in promoting its construction, which is currently underway. We have advocated before numerous governmental bodies for funds to purchase the right of way, and were successful in persuading the City of San Jose to place the eastern half of the right of way in the city’s General Plan.

In addition, we have advocated for numerous other trail-related projects in the county:

o Adobe Creek Trail: Bicycle-pedestrian bridge over 101 o Bay Trail: Close the short gap in East Palo Alto to create a continuous trail from Alviso to the approaches to the Dumbarton Bridge o : Pedestrian Bridges across Highway 101 and Coyote Creek to connect to the Edenvale (San Jose) neighborhood o Coyote Creek Trail: Paving from the Highway 237 Trail to Tasman Drive o Five Wounds Trail: Implementation along an abandoned railroad right-of-way from Story Road to the crossing of Highway 101. o : Year-round undercrossing of Tasman Drive o Hetch-Hetchy Trail: Connection from the Guadalupe River Trail to the light rail station o : Off-street crossing of Park Avenue and Montgomery Street o Stevens Creek Trail: Extension through Stockmeir Orchard to Stevens Creek Blvd. o Thompson Creek Trail: Implement from Tully Road to Quimby Road
