Santa Ana River Trail Project, Segment 3B

The Santa Ana River Trail Project, Segment 3B is a forecasted construction project managed by the Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District. The project involves the installation of a 0.66-mile multi-use trail within the Prado Dam Flood Control Basin in unincorporated Riverside County, California. The scope of work includes the construction of a Class I asphalt and concrete bicycle path featuring an eight-to-ten-foot travel way with two-foot shoulders, alongside a decomposed granite path for pedestrian and equestrian use. Technical specifications require a maximum longitudinal slope of five percent, a maximum cross fall of two percent, and a minimum 2:1 foot slope ratio for cut and fill areas. Additional requirements include the implementation of drainage improvements, the installation of signage and striping, and the application of native hydro-seed mix on graded slope areas. The project was approved on July 29, 2025, with a Notice of Determination filed on July 30, 2025, confirming that a Negative Declaration was prepared under CEQA, indicating no significant environmental effects. Construction is estimated to take approximately eight months to complete, although the project is dependent upon the availability of funding. Gaby Adame, the Bureau Chief of Planning and Development, serves as the primary point of contact. No specific contract value, solicitation number, or formal evaluation factors have been established, as the current documentation reflects a pre-solicitation forecast.
