Escondido Creekwalk Vision Presentation @ City Council Meeting:
On Wednesday, August 18, 2010, the Revealing Escondido Creek design team presented the Escondido Creekwalk Vision to City Council. With roaring applause, the presentation was met with enthusiasm by both council members and the public in attendance. Several members of the public spoke out in support of the vision and all five council members expressed excitement in the Creekwalk Vision. Conversation is shifting from discussing impediments to talking about next steps.
This vision plan has come to fruition through the efforts of many dedicated and visionary community members. The design team thanks the residents of Escondido and all who have participated in this project for their passion and commitment to the creek, the trail, and the community.

About the Project
Revealing Escondido Creek aspires to create a new vision of the creek by the community and residents of the region. The Escondido Creek, through the increased participation of the community, can become a functional and aesthetically pleasing recreation and transit corridor that acts as an asset to its community and its environment.
The Escondido Creek Trail is an underutilized Class I bike path that follows the course of the channel through the center of the city of Escondido. The bike path holds great potential for the city of Escondido and the larger region to be a main artery in a larger system of pedestrian and bicycle corridors.
The vision of Revealing Escondido Creek is to increase public access, address issues of public safety and facilitate increased community awareness of the Escondido Creek and Trail.
