Re-using the Southern Pacific Railroad
right-of-way, Callander Associates designed 3-1/2 miles of
pedestrian and bike trail for the City of Monterey. The trail
takes users to the most scenic areas in Monterey, including
historic Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Shoreline Park,
and Fisherman's Wharf. With the trail adjacent to residential
and commercial properties, Callander Associates addressed
the concerns of local residents and businesses at a series
of community workshops and public meetings. The firm's extensive
background in agency processing facilitated trail approval
from the Joint Powers Agency, Coastal Commission, Caltrans,
State Department of Parks & Recreation, and City authorities.
Numbers of users has exceeded the City's expectations and
provided a popular alternative to automobile travel between
tourist destinations. |
