Stanford promised to build a public bike path from Foothill Expressway out to Arastradero Preserve. Hopefully, they are finally making good on that promise.

Actually Stanford has wanted to do this for years; it was San Mateo County which held it up for ions, then finally, reluctantly, approved it. There objection was that it would impact an otherwise pristine environment, and attract people into a rural atmosphere.

Its a bit more complicated. Two trails were promised: one along the south side (the one along Page Mill) and one along the North Side (Alpine Road). The glitch on the north-side trail is that Stanford does not want to use any of its land, and has been trying to move it across the creek into San Mateo. It has not been approved by San Mateo County, as there is impact on the existing Alpine Road and on the creek bed itself. Very emotional, and it will string out for years.
But: still waiting to see if in fact that construction is the Page Mill Trail. (Can not find it on the Stanford Construction Projects website, and was hoping someone did in fact know.)
