EL DORADO COUNTY TRAIL EXTENSION EASEMENT EVALUATION
El Dorado County Airports, Parks, and Grounds
EN2/SEA was retained by the County to perform a trail extension evaluation to: 1) establish a link between the existing El Dorado Trail and the Pony Express Trail at Pacific House and 2) to the extent practicable, identify a safe, scenic, and relatively quiet route that utilizes lightly traveled roads and raw land easements. Tasks included: 1) developing routing criteria and then evaluating and mapping easements and associated land ownership for the preliminary and alternative trail routes, 2) contacting landowners through surveys to assess receptiveness to granting easements for the trail, 3) soliciting input from trail user groups on the preliminary and alternative routes, and 4) preparing draft and final reports on the results of the trail extension study.
