Major San Jose trail project would link future BART station in Little Portugal neighborhood

A San Jose walking and cycling trail decades in the making is one step closer to finally happening with the City Council set to vote Tuesday on securing the project’s final chunk of land — all at a bargain price.

The long-sought Five Wounds Trail — running north to south on the eastern side of downtown — will allow residents to easily access the coming BART extension in the Little Portugal neighborhood and a smattering of other walkable paths that branch out across the city.

When completed, the paved 2.17-mile route would start at the intersection of Story and Senter roads near the Coyote Creek Trail to the south and end at the Lower Silver Creek Trail to the north. The hope is to have the project completed by 2031.

“I think this is a very notable, positive and substantial investment in the east side,” said Nanci Klein, director of economic development at the city. “It contributes to great places to be in these neighborhoods, which haven’t gotten a lot of trees or recreational amenities.”
