With little fanfare, the greatly anticipated opening of the Stevens Creek Trail extension from El Camino Real to Sleeper Avenue was opened on Friday 24 April 2009. News travelled quickly and I was among the first to "legally" travel on the opened trail. I took TOO MANY pictures, snapping one every few feet at the fresh pavement in front of me with copious freshly planted native trees and shrubs lining the pathway. It is only 1/2 mile long, but for those who have biked along Grant Road, you know that is a treacherous 1/2 mile we are now fortunate to be able to avoid.
I chose a dozen pictures that I think will give you a flavor for the trail. I apologize, but they are in somewhat reverse order for many of you - starting at Sleeper Park and heading north to El Camino Real.

Look forward to a grand opening ceremony, probably in early June. It is expected that this section opening will be celebrated along with the new bridge over Moffett Blvd. at that time.
