The San Rafael Hills “Mountain Do” Trail will be an ADA accessible trail placed on the bed of an existing service road which is currently closed to the public. Gravel will be removed from the center section of the service road and replaced with a mixture of decomposed granite and soil stabilizer creating a trail tread with a minimum width of 48 inches.

The trail will also include two rest areas where walkers and the mobility impaired can move off the trail into landscaped areas containing appropriate native plantings, benches, picnic tables, and interpretive signage. Creation of these rest areas will require the placement of four bridges across an existing cement drainage channel, as well as brush clearance and a minimal amount of grading. Minimal grading will also be required on a small portion of the trail to reduce the running slope and bring it into compliance with U.S. Access Board standards.

A portion of the Sports Complex parking lot will be re-striped to include additional handicapped spaces near the trailhead. Vehicle barriers will be installed to prevent entry by motorized vehicles while allowing pedestrians and persons with disabilities to access the trail. Because the trail will provide an opportunity for many user-groups to engage in activities previously unavailable to them, it has been named the San Rafael Hills “Mountain Do” Trail.

The project is funded through a grant from the federal Recreational Trails Program and is administered through the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
