Project Location
The project site is located south of Rio Road between Ladera Drive and Mission Fields Road, in both the City of Carmel‐by‐the Sea and unincorporated Monterey County, California.
Project Description
The proposed pathway is a shared‐use path suitable for pedestrian and bicycle travel linking Rio Road to Lasuen Drive. The path intersects Rio Road near the northeast corner of Larson Field; it intersects Lasuen Drive at the Mission Ranch tennis court driveway (see Figures 2a and 2b). The total length of the path is approximately 1,420 feet. Approximately 50 percent of the path alignment would be on what is currently bare dirt or disturbed land characterized by ruderal vegetation. Another 40 percent is turf and used as an active park with ball fields. The remaining portion of the proposed path crosses an area with willows, grasses, and other vegetation. Representative photographs of the project vicinity are shown in Figure 2c.

Determination
