Wildcat Bike Trail Design

Tasked with creating a conceptual directional mountain bike trail that caters to the diverse needs of today's riders, Pointe Strategies sought to incorporate popular trail components while providing opportunities for skill progression and alleviating pressure on existing trails within Tilden and Wildcat Canyon Parks.

 

Pointe Strategies initiated the design process by conducting a thorough review of all available project data, including GIS data, topography, and relevant studies. This was followed by a comprehensive site visit with key stakeholders, including Trails Program staff, the Park Supervisor, and Stewardship staff, to discuss the project's history, context, design parameters, and operational considerations such as grazing and emergency response protocols.

​

Based on this collaborative input, several alternative design concepts were developed and presented to stakeholders. Following extensive discussions, a final conceptual design was selected. Pointe Strategies then delivered a comprehensive package to the client, including a preferred concept trail plan with schematic and illustrative drawings, planning-level cost estimates, and a detailed report justifying the chosen alternative.
