City of Morgan Hill Bikeways, Trails, Parks and Recreation Master Plan

Specific suggestions for other desired improvements or destinations included, among others: • I would like to see a bike trail from the percolation ponds to the Coyote Creek Bike Trail • Hill Road is unsafe as is • De Witt could seriously use a shoulder wide enough for a bike. • I would like to bike all the way downtown from Paradise Valley on a bike trail

FINDINGS •

Of those that specified an “other” location, 14% said they currently bike downtown or to restaurants, but 52% said they would be interested in biking to a downtown or restaurant location. This is aligned with the comments about trails that indicated there are not enough trails close to or connected to downtown. (See Table 4 and Figure 5.) • Thirty percent of respondents said they currently bike to a park, pool or field, and 33% said they would be interested in biking to these locations. • Responses to questions related to both trails and biking indicate that there is significant interest in improved bikeway connections to downtown. Given the recent mixed responses to the road diet in downtown, the community’s preferences for types of bicycle infrastructure should be further explored. • The interest in biking to park, pool or field indicates that opportunities for bike connections to parks and recreation facilities should be identified.
