El Camino Real - North side access
Status Update 23 March 2013

Construction has started on the new access from the north side of El Camino Real in Mountain View to Stevens Creek Trail.  This will make the trail more accessible to people heading west on El Camino as well as providing a safe crossing of El Camino Real midway in a very long block between lights.

Below are a few pictures taken the afternoon of 22 March 2013.


This is looking across El Camino at the new sidewalk along the edge of the driveway to the Hotel Zico and Extended Stay America.


Here is the turnoff you'll see when heading south on the trail, right before the tunnel under El Camino Real


This construction notice is along the trail at the above junction to alert users to what is going on.


This is the photo accompanying the construction notice, showing the planned addition in blue/white stripes.


Continuing along the new connection, you can see where it joins with the parking lot.


This is the view from the parking lot of the hotels, looking out towards El Camino Real.  

The sidewalk will connect El Camino into the sidewalk along the parking lot behind this point. 

The trail connection is where the orange post is on the right of the photo.


That connection into the parking lot...


And here is a better view of the trail connector as it leaves the sidewalk in the driveway.


And, finally, here is where the connector joins into the trail, heading north.

I think that covers just about everything.
