Gap Analysis Report and Action Plan

 
The Gap Analysis Report and Action Plan is a multi-year study that analyzed the 152 gaps in the existing Ridge Trail route. The study identifies strategies to close each gap and the path forward for completing the Ridge Trail and realizing our shared vision of a continuous world class regional trail. The Plan was also awarded the California Trails and Greenways 2021 Merit Award for Planning.
