has been striving to complete the bicycle/pedestrian pathway along the abandoned Southern Pacific
Railroad right-of-way. This corridor has been named the Iron Horse Trail. In addition, Dublin,
Pleasanton, Zone 7 Flood Control, and the East Bay Regional Park District have combined forces and
funding to construct Phases I and II of the Iron Horse Trail/Alameda Canal Ped-Bike Path from the City
of San Ramon south along the old Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way to a point at the confluence of
Alamo Creek, then south along Alamo Canal, under 1-580 and on to the Arroyo Mocho Channel in
Pleasanton.
There is $9 million in FY 1999-2000 in TLC funding available in the Bay Area for projects similar to this
one.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution authorizing application for TLC funding
for Dublin's Iron Horse Trail/Alamo Canal Ped-Bike Path.
