The City of Paso Robles announced on May 11 that it is inviting residents, commuters, students, and trail users to participate in two upcoming outreach events about the proposed North River Road Multiuse Trail project.
The city said these events are designed to gather feedback from the community to help shape the future design of the trail and support ongoing grant funding efforts. The proposed Class I multiuse trail aims to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity for people walking, biking, and rolling along the North River Road corridor.
According to city officials, this segment is a key part of Paso Robles’ long-term “Grand Loop” vision—a planned network of connected trails, sidewalks, bike facilities, and recreational corridors intended to create safer and more accessible active transportation routes throughout the area. Completing this segment would close a critical gap in the loop system and enhance connections between neighborhoods, schools, parks, and other destinations across Paso Robles.
The first outreach event will take place on Tuesday, May 12 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM outside City Hall near the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Community members are encouraged to stop by to share their experiences walking or biking along North River Road; provide feedback on proposed features; learn about planned improvements; participate in interactive activities; and receive free safety items.
A second event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Cuesta College North County Campus Library. This session will give students and staff an opportunity to review project information during Cuesta College’s “Studyathon” activities as finals week approaches. While open to all members of the public, attendees are asked either to obtain a parking permit or use designated visitor parking areas—though walking or biking is encouraged.
Those unable to attend can still participate through an online survey at https://tally.so/r/KYB12V. The city also notes that May is Bike Month and encourages residents interested in local bicycle programming to visit SLO Rideshare’s Bike Month calendar.
