TranslateSonoma Schellville Trail - Project Detail
Project Description
A four-mile long Class I bikeway will be constructed along the former Northwestern Pacific Railroad right of way, which partially parallels 8th Street East. The railroad right of way is on the east side of 8th Street East. The planned trail begins at Sebastiani Winery, near the terminus of the Sonoma Bike Path, and ends near the intersection at Highway 121 and 8th Street East in Schellville.
The trail design would include an 8-foot wide paved trail with 2-foot gravel shoulders on each side of the paved trail. The trail would be placed on top of the existing railroad bed. The 8-foot trail width allows for two-way bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The gravel shoulders would be accessible to pedestrians that prefer to use an unpaved trail surface.
