Bernal Hill Trails Project

Apr 032012

BERNAL HEIGHTS URBAN TRAILS PROJECT

Bernal Hill rises out of the Mission District, offering 360-degree views of San Francisco and the bay. This grassland has outstanding wildflower displays in spring, and provides abundant hunting grounds for hawks, owls, and coyotes. The Urban Trails Program will improve access and safety throughout Bernal Hill by routing trails away from cliffs and unstable terrain while continuing to provide access to multiple points of interest. To the extent possible, trails will be realigned to grades of 10 percent or less. Park entry points and trailheads will be clearly marked by plants and wayfinding signs.

BERNAL HEIGHTS TRAIL RESTORATION COMMUNITY MEETINGS

The Recreation and Park Department will be hosting a series of community meetings to discuss the future trail restoration improvements to Bernal Heights Trail. Your input is important to us and will help us improve the Bernal Heights Trail in a way that is most beneficial to the community. The meeting schedule:

Community Meeting #1 - January 25

Community Meeting #2 – February 22

Community Meeting #3 – April 4

All meetings will be held from 6:00-7:30 pm at the Bernal Heights Library meeting room at 500 Cortland. We look forward to seeing you.
