LIVERMORE â If the East Bay Regional Park Districtâs (EBRPD) recent application for federal grant funding is accepted, the City of Livermore might gain some help in connecting to the Iron Horse Trail.
Following a conversation with EBRPD officials â who announced the application was underway â Livermore Mayor Bob Woerner reported he would like to see his city staff begin the work of identifying high-priority segments of the path and where rights-of-way will need to be acquired.
âLet's proceed to get the rights-of-way for those (segments of land), so that when a funding opportunity comes along, the project is doable, quickly,â he said. âThe Iron Horse Trail goes along an old railroad line, and in order to make connections on it, it may not be all on one railroad line â you might have to go through some private property as well ⦠thatâs my presumption.â
