The City hosted two separate public meetings on the evenings of February 20, 2018 (Meeting #2a) and February 26, 2018 (Meeting #2b) to present conceptual plans of the proposed trail and to solicit community feedback.  The conceptual plans were developed based on analysis of the existing conditions and comments received at Meeting #1.  The plans also identified design alternatives addressing constraints related to trail width, trail access, and trail crossings at several major streets.  A total of approximately 40 people signed into both meetings, all of whom were asked to submit written comments on the input packets, flip charts, and conceptual plans that were distributed and displayed at the event.

On Tuesday, February 5, 2019, City Council unanimously voted to adopt Resolution No. 19-020, which approved the draft Junipero Serra Trail Feasibility Study dated December 14, 2018. The draft feasibility study was inadvertently attached to the staff report instead of the January 25, 2019 Final Junipero Serra Trail Feasibility Study. On Tuesday, May 21, 2019, to resolve the previous mix up in documents, the City Council adopted the January 25, 2019 final document.  An attachment noting differences between the two documents is below.

At the May 18, 2022, Bicycle Pedestrian Commission Meeting, the commission discussed the name change. It concluded that a survey allowing residents to participate in selecting a new name would be the best course of action.

The City collected community input from Friday, January 6 through Monday, January 30, about this potential name change.
