The Linda Vista Trail project was initiated after Richard Lowenthal, resident and former Mayor of Cupertino, donated the land for the trail to the City. In July 2019, the City Council approved $695K in construction funds for an unpaved pedestrian trail. (Note: the trail is not barred to cycling traffic, though signs do state “walk your bike”.)
