SITE 06: REDWOOD CREEK/BRADFORD STREET <br />Program Description: <br />This program conceptaimsto provide enhanced <br />pedestrian connectivity from Downtown <br />Redwood City to the Bay Trail system while <br />enhancing and protecting the ecology and <br />habitat along Redwood Creek. The site provides <br />an excellent opportunity for residents and <br />visitors to experience natural landscapes and <br />environments that are currently inaccessible. <br />This program concept also provides an <br />opportunity to convey the history and ecology of <br />Redwood Creek through interpretive signs and <br />graphics. <br />In addition to viewpoints and overlooks, <br />there should also be several fitness hubs <br />placed strategically along the trail. These <br />hubs should include parcourse-style outdoor <br />fitness equipment, such as chin-up and push- <br />up stations, which could provide physical <br />challenges for trail users. <br />Because this segment of the creek cuts <br />through the middle of a developed area, and <br />because this program concept encourages <br />the development of a pedestrian and bicycle <br />pathway, the adjacent developments have <br />an opportunity to capitalize on the creek by <br />reconfiguring portions of their buildings towards <br />the pathwayto provide an enhanced experience <br />for patrons. <br />24 SEPTEMBER 2018 <br />Precedent 1: Lake Island Fitness Trail, FL <br />Fitness hubs, like the one above, add an extra <br />opportunity for trail users to get some exercise <br />Precedent 3: Charleston Retention Basin, <br />Mountain View, CA <br />Viewing platforms can be incorporated to provide <br />opportunities for rest and interpretive exhibits. <br />0AaC el14Z.911101►1X_1caIIII A IN 19*1 <br />Precedent 2: Guadalupe River Trail, San <br />Jose, CA <br />This project is a good example of a creekside trail, <br />connecting Downtown San Jose from regional parks to <br />the Bay Trail. <br />Precedent 4: Three Rivers Trail, Pittsburgh <br />Three Rivers Trail is a good example of an urban <br />creekside trail.
