1. Improve trail connectivity: Improving connectivity will make it easier for people to access and navigate the trail system. Creating a comprehensive trail system that connects all existing trails will improve accessibility and allow residents to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Connect trails between parks, neighborhoods, and schools: This is important because it will provide a safe route for children to ride their bikes between their neighborhood and their school, reducing traffic congestion and improving safety
2. Incorporate signage and educational aspects: Adding identification markers for native plants, animals, and topography, as well as providing information about landmarks and historical places, will enhance the educational value of the trails and provide a more enriching experience for visitors.
3. Enhance safety of trails: Providing safe off-road trails for hiking, running, and biking will promote outdoor physical activity and improve the overall well-being of the community.
This includes separate bike lanes and trails that are separate from roads to ensure the safety of cyclists. Repairing cracked asphalt and better trail maintenance was also mentioned.
4. Build new trails: Murrieta Creek Trail and Vineyard Trail were both mentioned, as well as general requests for more trails for walking and running.

1. Dear Murrieta Trails Planning Committee, I cannot attend your first meeting, but I’d like to submit my comments for consideration. We live in the Copper Creek neighborhood that borders the Thompson Airfield open space on Hayes Rd. I’d like to request that you strongly and immediately consider connecting the trails between Sykes Ranch Park (by Thompson Middle School) and Cole Canyon Elementary (Copper Canyon neighborhood). The Copper Canyon neighborhood children make up the majority of students that attend Thompson Middle and Murrieta Valley High Schools. Today, there is no safe route for kids to ride their bikes between their neighborhood and their school. As a result, parents drive their children and Washington Ave. has become a parking lot. The kids that do ride have no safe bike lanes on Washington, and are cutting through the Ralph’s shopping center, riding on sidewalks, and risking their lives on Washington. I suggest creating a trail through the Thompson Airfield to Sykes.
2. I would love to see walking trails connecting copper canyon to nighthawk road.
3. Please please please!!! Build this trail!! Kids get hit and injured A TON when riding home by the Ralph’s shopping center. This would be a great alternative to keep them off the roads.
4. More signage and inter connectivity of the whole network
5. I would like to see more information posted about the city, perhaps some sustainable landmarks, art installations, commemorating historical places, citiizens, and civic leaders.
Make more dog friendly trails and water stations.
6. I would like to see trails to walk with my kids(teens) and maybe our dog. Water features/creeks are a plus. I have seen parks with huge lakes which are considered dog parks for dogs to swim and play. Miami Florida has a pump track for skateboarding/biking which is great for beginners and young kids. Parking is also a plus.
7. I live in copper canyon and my children attend Murietta Valley and Thompson Middle School. I would like a trail to go under the bridge at Calle del Oso Oro so the kids don’t have to cross the busy street. That same trail should also travel through Thompson to the schools.
8. I’m most concerned over the preservation of Cole Canyon trails in west Murrieta.
9. It would be great to use the creek that runs under Clinton Keith near Grand Ave as a trail that went all of the way down to Temecula.
10. We have a small group of ladies who want to start doing all of the hiking trails in Murrieta. With that in mind, I went to the city’s page and found out this master plan was happening and a couple of us will come to the second meeting at the end of March. In the meantime to get us started, I just want directions to each trail and where to park. That is the most important thing.
However, the city only has the park addresses available and on that list it doesn’t even show if there is a hiking trail, so that list needs updated. Also you show 16 trails, the web page says 15 so that needs updated. And last, we need the location and direction of each of the trails.
Thank you.
11. I walk a lot on the trails in the neighborhood. One of the issues we have is lack of connectivity.
Many of the trails end at a road - start again on the other side and there is no safe crossing without walking up to another crossing hundreds of yards away.
12. I’d like to see more educational aspects incorporated, such as identification markers for native plants, animals, and topography. If there is a viewpoint, for example, I’d like to know what mountain peak I’m seeing! Summit height, distance from that point, etc.
13. Please look at linking all current trails together as well as preparing a trail system along the river bed of Murrieta to Temecula so residents can enjoy the many downtown areas food and boutiques thus increasing small businesses to thrive. We love Murrieta and would love to see us utilized our beautiful surroundings of old highway 395 and the Mountain View’s.
14. It would be cool to have a bike trail or multipurpose trail that connects many of the existing trails. It would be nice to have more clear signage of trails.
15. I really enjoyed and appreciate the meeting yesterday for trails and hiking. I do believe we need to have labels or boards with different various types of wildlife spotted in each area focusing on the top 3 snake species and there harmful rating or none. The presentation was great having someone to speak directly with and great info hearing others needs and opinions.

16. Vineyard Trails. Secure & maintain access to a well-used community resource; enhance community well-being with access to local nature trails and a safe place to run/hike/ride away from traffic. Provide for continued access to trails in areas known as “Vineyard” & “Airport”; connect these trails to existing city trails; provide signage to mark trails. Local distance runners need safe places to run off-road; DG & dirt are far superior to concrete & asphalt as running surfaces for injury prevention. While currently accessed by hundreds of people weekly, the area is periodically made inhospitable for community usage by trails being plowed, parked cars receiving threats of parking citations, & “No Trespassing” signs posted.
City Trails Map shows trails exist here but they are not marked; it is not clear where boundaries between public & private land are; not clear where parking is or isn’t permitted.
17. Vineyard to Cole Canyon & Copper Canyon. Enhance safety & well-being of community hikers & runners; provide access to safe, off-road connected trails to cover a route of 5-10 continuous miles; provide trail signage. Connecting Vineyard trails to existing trails around Cole Cyn & Copper Cyn Fitness Route will create an extensive network of community trails through natural areas. Santa Rosa Nature Reserve requires a drive & is frequently closed to the public; a local trail network would be an invaluable community resource; Cole Canyon trails could be easily connected to Santa Rosa Plateau trails.
18. Murrieta Creek Trail. Increase outdoor recreational opportunities in a natural setting for community & regional residents; preserve natural habitats. Murrieta Creek Trail thru Murrieta is part of a multi-city network of trails along the creek providing an ideal environment for habitat preservation & recreational opportunities. Meetings & hearings were held with local citizens, the cities of Temecula & Murrieta, & the Army Corps of Engineers 30 years ago for the purpose of building a natural creek recreational area along the creek (vs. a paved channel). Since the 1990s, other efforts have followed but not come to fruition in Murrieta--a 2015 map shows the proposed Murrieta Creek Trail thru Murrieta as it would connect to Temecula & Wildomar; Murrieta has dropped the ball on this project & should complete our portion.
19. Murrieta Bike Trails. Increase the safety & well-being of community residents, in particular young people, & encourage outdoor physical activity with a City-wide network of safe bike lanes & trails. Provide safe bike routes from residential areas to schools to minimize dependence on cars & promote physical activity; connect parks, schools, commercial & residential areas. For safety, bike lanes & trails MUST be separate from roads--a narrow bike lane on the street is NOT a safe place for most people to ride a bicycle. Traffic on streets marked 45mph travels at 45-60mph; many drivers are driving distracted; local drivers are NOT well-versed on how to “Share the Road”. Bicycles & especially E-bikes ridden on sidewalks for the rider’s safety pose significant hazards to pedestrians. Many excellent examples of thoughtful community-planning to include & encourage bicycle riding exist (e.g. Davis, CA; Doylestown, PA Bike/Hike System).
20. Use city trails for walking/hiking; Not very satisfied with maintenance and overall condition of trails; Barriers or challenges preventing use of trails include many of the trails are closed or gated off, and they’re not connected very well; Community services department can improve in providing trails by making them more accessible.
21. Uses the trails for walking/hiking and running; Not satisfied with the maintenance and condition of the trails; Barriers and challenges preventing trail use includes steep hill near Las Brisas Rd; Community services department can improve in providing trails by repairing cracked asphalt walkways.
