Santa Clara River Trail Plan
Chapter 7: Summary of Project Implementation Plan
Project Implementation Plan
Phasing
The primary purpose for a trail phasing plan is to ensure a logical sequence of implementation that
provides a high degree of success as each phase is built, thereby building momentum for each future
phase of the project. Success is directly correlated with a substantial level of use, strong public and
political support, and proven effective management of the trail as each phase is implemented.
Grant amounts are unknown, but grants for other multi-use trail projects similar to the Santa Clara River
Trail (SCRT) in California have typically been in the $1 million to $3 million range. Phasing
recommendations target levels of funding within this range.
Success of the first built phase is critical to securing future funding. The first phase must be well received
by the public and become a model for all other future phases.
