RIDING, HIKING, BICYCLING TRAILS
•• Opportunities exist within Rancho Cucamonga
for the provision of trails for transportation
and recreation usage. Horseback riding,
hiking, jogging, running, walking and
bicycling can all be accommodated in some
way within Rancho Cucamonga.
One of the secondary benefits of the many
flood control channels lacing through the
City is the availability of right-of-way
for trail purpose. These rights-of-way
were once part of the San Bernardino
County Recreation Plan, providing for
multi-purpose usage; i .e. bicycles, hiking,
and equestrian.
In Northern Alta Loma residential development
has provided for equestrian use. However,
there were no consistent design standards
employed resulting in inadequate trail
systems, and a fragmented collection of
easements within various tract develop-
ments; the majority of which lack standard
trail widths, uniform design, and develop-
ment. Many trails empty into the street
M or dead-end at walls, fences, ravines, or
flood control channels.
The Trails Plan deals with two areas; the
resolution of existing trail problem areas
within developed residential areas; and, a
consistent policy for a trail system for
new development where appropriate.
Trail Concept The objective of the trail system is to
delineate an overall network of interconnect-
ing trails which are integrated with
recreation areas, parks, open spaces,
residential and commercial and industrial
areas. The overall trail concept is based
upon three components :
- Regional Multi-purpose trails
- Community trails
- Local Feeder trails
The Regional Multi-purpose Trails are the
backbone of the system. They are reserved,
extended long distance corridors , and
serve as the main connectors to the regional
parks, scenic canyons, the national forest,
other major open spaces , residential ,
commercial and industrial areas.
Y .
The Community Trails provides the user
with access to the Regional Multi-purpose
Trails to community facilities such as do
Park, Alta Loma Park, Base Line
Park, Elementary, Junior and Senior High
Schools, Shopping Centers and the Regional
Shopping Center. Community Trails extend
through the community along water ways ,
utility corridors, public rights-of-way,
easements, and along streets having adequate
parkway width.
These trails form loops of varying length
and act as the initial link in unifying
the existing disjointed Local Feeder Trails.
Local Feeder trails, not identified on the
map, are contained within subdivisions and
enable the user access from their residential
lot to the Community or Regional Multi-
purpose Trail , residential neighborhoods ,
schools, and parks. Emphasis should be
placed on establishing appropriate Local
Feeder Trails at the time of subdivision
approval or development review.
OBJECTIVE
The objective below and subsequent polici
in conjunction with those expressed in the
circulation sub-element, shall be
used to develop the Trail System.
Provide an interconnected system of riding,
bicycling and hiking trails which:
- Have safe access and travel to
neighborhood, city, regional
parks; recreational facilities,
scenic areas, residential , commercial
and industrial areas;
- are aesthetically pleasing and
create a "country and rural atmosphere"
by integrating natural areas and urban
areas with well planned linear open
spaces.
POLICIES
o That the area as shown on Figure III-
5a provide for:
- The keeping and protection of
animals on private property, in-
cluding equine, bovine, cleft-
hoofed animals , and poultry.
