Niguel Metrolink Station. “I cannot tell you how
pleased I am with this project. It completely
breathes new life into the area and transforms
a once bleak creek channel into beautiful
pedestrian and bike
friendly trail,” said
Mayor Laurie
Davies. “It’s a great
addition to our trail
system,” said
Davies.
The trail creates new community green
and recreational space alongside the creek
channel, and reduces the area’s carbon
footprint by encouraging walking, biking and
mass transit ridership.
