Below are articles and press releases that relate to the positive impact of trails on communities: Safety, healthy living and increased property values. We will continue to build the library of interesting articles that support the case. Locally, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s office has found no incidents of crime in a number of different areas in Cupertino where off-street trails exist:  Scenic Circle entrance to Blackberry Farms, the bike trails in and out of Creekside Park, and Orogrande/Stelling road. We hope that you will find the articles useful and informative.
