Bike Trail to Be Part of Golf Course Project

The Orange County Board of Supervisors has approved construction of a private golf course in the Arroyo Trabuco, near the community of Ladera Ranch, but will require a public bike trail through the course.

The area had previously been zoned for sand and gravel extraction. The developer, Rancho Mission Viejo, will not be permitted to move forward with the golf course until a strip of land for the bike path has been designated, blueprints have been drafted and funds to build it have been set aside, according to conditions included in Wednesday’s vote.
