and federal grants was allocated to complete the BART-to-Santa Rita section of the trail. Construction began in May 2013, and was completed in July 2014. The project accommodated several obstacles, including routing through an existing business campus, two city parks, a residential development, an apartment complex, and three at-grade crossings of busy roads; it connects with the earlier southern segment at the intersection of two major streets. In April 2013, another new trail segment opened along Stanley Boulevard on the north side of Shadow Cliffs Lake in unincorporated Alameda County. This leaves a gap between the end of the Pleasanton portion of the trail and the west end of this new segment. The East Pleasanton Specific Plan Project includes plans to complete this gap along future extensions to Busch Road and El Charro Road to Stanley Boulevard. A 2022 project extended this segment from the Livermore city limits at the intersection of Stanley Boulevard and Isabel Avenue with a trail paralleling Stanley Avenue on its north side to a new bridge over Murrieta Boulevard; the trail dead-ends about past the bridge.
