Winter 2001
PROJECTS: Stockton Opens Citywide Bike Trail
 The
City of Stockton celebrated the grand opening of their $1.5 million
Calaveras River Bike Path Extension and Pedestrian Bridge Project
this past October.
A collaborative project of the City and the San Joaquin Council
of Governments with support from San Joaquin County, the extension
and the new 320-foot bridge complete a six-mile path that now
spans the entire width of Stockton. This major east-west bikeway
also intersects five north-south bike lanes and routes and provides
bicycle access to schools, employment and commercial centers and
recreational facilities while avoiding automobile traffic.
The Calaveras River Bike Path is the top priority project of
the Stockton Bikeway Master Plan. The City began building the
trail 15 years ago.
