ISCMPDLDPNUBYDPVSTFT County sets deadline on Stanford trails A Dec. 13 deadline has been set for Stanford University and Santa Clara County to reach an agreement on the location of two controversial trail connections in the Stanford foothills. The county Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to have county staff negotiate an agreement with Stanford by Dec. 13 on the location of the two trails. If the deadline is met, it would end a stalemate that has continued for more than five years, with environmentalists favoring trail routes through the Dish property above Stanford and the university pushing for routes outside the boundaries, both north and south. 7BMJE
