Glad to see the city is in the planning stages to expand the Jeffrey Open Space Trail. It provides families with a nice walk, a safe ride for cyclists, and could potentially become an alternative method of transportation for IVC students.
We are excited for this improvement, but hope the city does remember the traffic concerns caused by increased pedestrian and cyclist traffic. Current plans are to maintain all crossings at grade (crosswalks). I hope the planners will see a benefit to continuing the JOST flow with above grade (bridges) or below grade (tunnels) improvements. The last concern Irvine traffic needs will be slower traffic at Jeffrey/Alton and Jeffrey/Barranca.
