ICIP#37845 LCS ID# 3854
What is this Project?
A one-mile asphalt multi-use pedestrian and bicycle trail along Avenida Azul in Eldorado. The road is currently base course, and the addition of the trail will provide a safety corridor for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling on this busy primary connector road.
Why is this Project Needed?
The residents of Eldorado are currently using the driving lanes of Avenida Azul for pedestrians and bicyclists. The road is currently base course and is not safe for the amount of recreational traffic forced to use the road surface with vehicle traffic flow. The new trail will provide a safe path next to Avenida Azul for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling on this busy primary connector road.
