  • Annual Count & Survey of San José Trails
    TRAIL COUNT Annual Count & Survey of San José Trails With Supplemental Covid-19 Survey (Appendix A) 2020 Trail Count 2020 Trail Count 2020 was conducted under unique circumstances not previously encountered. Volunteers and staff recorded a large decrease in users at most count stations. It is anticipated this is related to the current world health pandemic, Covid-19, the Santa Clara County Shelter-In-Place Order, and the prominent wildfires throughout California and the Bay Area during the week of Trail Count 2020. Ranging between 50 (Moderate Levels) to 150 (Unhealthy Levels for Sensitive Groups), the air quality experienced by trail users during the day of Trail Count 2020 influenced how many people used the trail network. However, seeing the number of people still accessing the trails during these conditions shows the value and daily need of the San Jose Trail Network to provide opportunities for active transportation and recreation. For 2020, the annual Trail Count Survey in alignment with Trail Count Day, received 78 responses. This is low compared to prior years. This reduced amount of responses may be related to the fact that over 300 trail users completed a special survey in June 2020 related to Covid-19 and the County’s Shelter-In-Place Order (for more information, see Appendix A at the end of this report). Having only recently completed a survey within the last three months, trail users may have been less likely to respond to the Annual Trail Count Survey. The following Summary Report shares the purpose and process behind Trail Count, specific findings per trail system, and overall findings based on the San Jose Trail Network.

  • Community Meeting #2, Kelley Park Master Plan Update
    SUMMARY Meeting date: February 25, 2016 Community Meeting #2, Kelley Park Master Plan Update The second community meeting and workshop served as both a review and overview of the Master Plan Update for the public and park neighbors in the City of San Jose. The Master Plan Update is building on the existing Master Plan to update and focus on providing unified wayfinding and circulation hierarchy, enhancing existing facilities and making suggestions for undeveloped and under-used areas. Phasing and prioritization of future improvements will be a key consideration of the Master Plan Update. The meeting began shortly past 6:30pm in the Okayama Room of the Leininger Center at Kelley Park; 133 people signed in but a head count indicated upwards of 165 attendees. Simultaneous translation was provided in Vietnamese and Spanish. Councilmember Tam Nguyen and Deputy Director Marybeth Harasz gave some introductory remarks including clarify that there is a separate programming feasibility study underway to review the needs of a potential Vietnamese Community Center. A brief overview of the project, meeting, and evening’s agenda was given before a verbal and slide presentation. The presentation summarized project goals for the Master Plan Update, as well as a brief review of the park’s history and site analysis. Results to date of the online survey which will be available through the end of March for additional feedback (survey is in English, Vietnamese, and Spanish), suggested changes to the under-utilized areas of Kelley Park, and draft approaches for enhancing overall park circulation were the focus of the presentation. Before breaking into small discussion groups, there was a call for discussion and general comments followed the presentation, allowing meeting attendees to respond to the options presented for the varied park areas and amenities.
