Update - 4 cities needs to include the below Foothill option for I280 undercrossing 

 

Below is one missed option for Stevens Creek trail to cross I 280.   Since many efforts originally concentrated on other routes first, this option was undiscovered till late in the process.  The 4 cities need to add these set of options along side of Foothill to the possible routes for Steven Creek trail.  This short class 1 trail segment (suitable for all ages of joggers, skaters, walker and younger cyclists), would have no effect on existing bike lanes on high speed Foothill Expressway which is suitable for more advanced cyclists.

 

 

 

Below is one option to connect to Homestead using bike path on side.  Other option is simply bike signaled crossings into existing bike lanes with green lanes crossing Foothill.

 

Two options south of 280.

1. Cross under Foothill on Caltrans right away extending on Southern side of sound wall.    The cross on pedestrian bridge well above rail tracks to Baxter.  Caltrans property extends to the chain link fence seen in photo between the sound wall and tracks.  Plenty of space for trail and bridge footing for a quarter of mile if desired on Caltrans property just outside the sound wall.   [This means that options exist for this route to connect to Groveland Drive and Stokes Ave]  (BTW, its illegal per federal rules to put a trail on rail right-away property, but ok to cross)   Visually clearance looks to be over 24' required for rail road crossing above tracks at Baxter.    Scale of yellow circle is exactly same as phot of SCT El Camino undercrossing shown 2nd photo below.

2. Other option is after crossing under 280 instead of crossing under foothill head west just north of Rail road tracks to Cristo Del Ray on Water district land,  This might be very cheap to do, but puts the connection just  few feet outside study area on Cristo Del Ray. 

 

Steven Creek Trail  El Camino Real under-crossing shown at exactly same scale for comparison.  This verifies that ADA slope and space is no issue for Foothill underpass.

 

 

This photo shows huge space under 280 at Foothill.  The slope can be easily repalced by a steeper wall to make space for a Class I undercrossing at Foothill.

 

Example of class I modification desired for Foothill under I 280 at Hickey Ave in Daly City.
