Sifting and sorting through a host of the neighborhood's perceived issues and concerns was one of many tasks Callander Associates' staff successfully completed for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. Callander Associates' role in the project included design development, permitting, construction document preparation, and construction review. Traffic engineering services were provided by an engineer as subconsultant.

Placement of the trail head improvements required great care due to the extreme sensitivity of the affected land parcel and its importance to the surrounding community. The driveway location underwent a thorough evaluation to ensure minimal impacts on traffic and safety.

Of special note was the extensive town review process, which included numerous reviews in front of the Architectural Review Board. A creative and thoughtful design process, including site planning, was required to obtain the approval of the Town. Other project components included railings, signage, gates, trail construction, and native plantings. In the end, grant funding was retained, permits were issued, utility lines were relocated, and the public gained a strategic access to this 1,302 acre open space.
