ABOUT THE PROJECT   

The Olivenhain Trail Enhancement project will install post and rope fending along the east parkway of Rancho Santa Fe Road between Lone Jack Road and 13^th Street.  The Rancho Santa Fe Road trail is well-trafficked by schoolchildren headed to Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School and Diegueno Middle School – in addition to equestrians, walkers, and bikers from throughout the community. 

The City of Encinitas Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts is partnering with the Encinitas Trails Coalition, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, to raise funds and apply for grants to complete this project.  The projects $150,000 budget will be used to complete a portion of the trail enhancements.

The Olivenhain Trail Enhancement project is in line with a Focus Area of the Encinitas Strategic Plan of Mobility & Alternative Modes by promoting multi-modal transportation alternatives and better delineating the path from the roadway.
