Background
• September 29, 2021 - City Council directed staff to develop a Trail Subcommittee to
evaluate additional options for improving the Trail to address safety concerns as listed on
a petition that was filed at City Hall.
• Subsequently, staff and the Subcommittee held three meetings to discuss and evaluate
improvements to the Trail including a successful meeting with the community at
Rosemead Park on April 2, 2022.
• At the July 12'h, 2022, City Council meeting, Option 4 was approved to address the
concerns of the Trail.
4 Option 4 includes removal of the existing half-inch synthetic layer and the grinding
of an inch of the existing concrete base to accommodate for a new inch and a half
thick synthetic layer.
Evaluation Results
• With Option 4 in mind, Staff coordinated for a topographic survey of the Trail be conducted
to identify low spots.
• A total of twenty-three low spots were identified and will serve as the locations for the one -
inch diameter weep holes thatwill be installed in a staggered configuration.
• The weep holes will serve as drainage to minimize standing water within the synthetic layer.
• Option 4 achieves the project goal which is to install a softer synthetic surface to address
safety concerns from the community as well as ADA access compliance.
• Specified synthetic surfaces shall be ADAcompliant, firm, stable and slip resistant.

• In addition to replacing the Trail surface, the Public Services team has requested for the
existing decomposed granite (DG) surrounding the five exercise stations be removed and
be replaced with synthetic surface.
• Replacing the DG with synthetic surfacing was added to the project solicitations as an
Additive Bid Item and would provide the following long-term benefits -
4 Eliminate excessive littering of granite particles throughoutthe western side of the Trail.
4 Eliminate the need for Staff to refill and level out these five areas with new DG.
4 Help minimize deterioration of the synthetic surface shown to be caused by the DG.
4 Help minimize the discoloration of the synthetic surface shown to be caused by the DG.
