Overview

BKF delivered civil engineering, design, and construction support services for the award‑winning transformation of a scenic 1.3‑mile segment of Highway 1 into a multi‑use trail serving hikers, runners, bicyclists, and equestrians. The project required thoughtful planning to protect sensitive migratory bird habitats, incorporate native plantings, and create custom aesthetic solutions for barrier fencing. BKF also supported the design of overlooks that allow trail users to experience views of the dramatic rocky shoreline.

As part of the trail conversion, BKF provided pavement regrading to meet ADA requirements, implemented 18,000 square feet of pavement micro‑surfacing, and assisted with the installation of restrooms and water fountains. The project also included new stormwater and drainage facilities and protective fencing to safeguard environmentally sensitive areas, helping deliver a safe, accessible, and environmentally conscious coastal recreation experience.
