Summary of Diablo Road Trail – Segments and Alignment

We’re often asked: who is building the trail, where will it go, and what will it look like?

The paved multi-purpose trail will be built partly by Davidon Homes (developer of the Magee Preserve project) and partly by the Town.

Davidon Homes is required, as a condition of the development project’s approval, to build the eastern segment, approximately 3,750 linear feet or 0.71 miles, extending from the project entrance at Jillian Way westward to the EBMUD access gate (shown as the dashed white line).

The Town will build the western segment on a dedicated public easement, extending westward from the EBMUD access gate to Fairway Drive. A new crossing system will connect the new trail to the existing Barbara Hale Trail that runs along the north side of Diablo Road west to Green Valley Road.

The design features of the trail include: 8-foot wide paved pathway with 2-foot gravel shoulders separated 4-5 feet from Diablo Road with a physical barrier.

This project is included in the Town’s Capital Improvement Program as project C-055. A total of $5.7 million has been reserved to fully fund the construction of the western segment.
