Advocates to Discuss Proposed Cycling Paths
A coalition of trail advocacy groups will hold a community forum today to discuss proposed bike paths along Santiago Creek and the abandoned Tustin Branch railroad corridor.
The Tustin Branch trail would follow the abandoned rail line with some diversions roads. The Santiago Creek trail is ultimately planned to extend the entire length of the creek and through the city.
Some homeowners have expressed opposition to the trail system, citing concerns that paths might lower property values and be a magnet for crime.
Today’s forum will feature speakers from the national Rails to Trails Conservancy and the National Parks Service to address those and other issues. The program will begin at 7 p.m. at Chapman University’s Hashinger Science Center.
