59 | Park to Playa Trail Feasibility Study and Wayfinding Plan Segment 1. Stocker Corridor Trail Entrance and Trail Restoration Ū Entrance improvements at Presidio Drive include native landscape planting and wayfinding direction sign. Ū Reconstruct switchback to rolling crown type per LA County Trails Manual. Trail Gateway and Intersection Improvements Ū Trail Gateway at southwest corner of Stocker Street and Valley Ridge Avenue (landscaping, map kiosk, trash receptacle, bike rack and pet waste disposal). Ū High visibility crosswalk at existing signalized intersection with pedestrian pushbuttons. Length: 7,093’ The Stocker Trail is a compacted earth trail cut into a north facing slope. Overall improvements to the corridor include widening the trail where not constrained by side slopes to meet the 6’ width Park to Playa Trail standard and restoring eroding slopes. Two segments of the existing trail encroach onto private property and need to be realigned. A previous design study conducted by the Baldwin Hills Conservancy has identified realignment recommendations that this feasi- bility study is carrying forward. Restoration of the abandoned portions of the existing trail is recommended following the realignment. As a separate long-term project, it would be desirable to provide mapping and wayfinding, and potentially physical improve- ments, to connect to destinations to the east and west along Stocker Street. Destinations to the east include the future Metro Crenshaw light rail line and parking opportunities at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza. Connections to the west include the Ladera residential neighborhoods and Ladera Ball Fields and Park. Though outside the scope of the current study, such regional connections were supported in public comments. 1.1 1.2
