Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway Project

The Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway Canyon del Rey/State Route 218 Segment Project is managed by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County as the lead agency, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife acting as the responsible agency. The project involves the construction of a paved multi-use trail located along State Route 218 in the City of Del Rey Oaks, specifically within the associated Frog Pond and Canyon Del Rey Creek, which is a tributary to Laguna Grande. This action constitutes Amendment No. 1 to Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MON-39383-R4, which was approved on October 16, 2025. The primary purpose of Amendment No. 1 is to extend the end date of the project annual work period. The project is subject to specific mitigation measures and a Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan adopted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure there are no significant environmental effects within its jurisdiction. Key personnel overseeing the project include Project Manager Michael Zeller for the Transportation Agency for Monterey County and Environmental Scientists Jim Kitch and Tal Starostinetsky-Malonek for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
