Work Program for 2015
Iron Horse Corridor Advisory Committee
Task 1: Review and comment on tree planting requests
In 2010 and 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved the new Tree Planting and Preservation
Policy for the Iron Horse Corridor. Staff anticipates requests from tree planting sponsors to
implement new tree planting projects. The committee will review and make recommendations on
new tree planting requests.
Suggested completion date: ongoing as requests are made
Task 2: Continue to review and comment on the Adopt-the-Corridor Program
The committee will receive periodic updates on the Adopt-the-Corridor Program as projects are
proposed and will be asked to provide feedback and suggestions on ways to improve/streamline
the program. The committee will also be asked to assist with turnkey projects and approve those
volunteer projects which have proceeded in accordance with the Adopt-the-Corridor Program.
Suggested completion date: ongoing project review as projects are proposed
Task 3: Review and comment on the Iron Horse Corridor Budget
The committee receives a quarterly update of Iron Horse Corridor Trust Fund revenues and
expenditures. The committee will review the budget and make recommendations.
Suggested completion date: ongoing
Task 4: Review and comment on Project Status Log

quarterly advisory committee meetings. The committee will review the log and provide comments.
Suggested completion date: ongoing
Task 5: Review and comment on major projects affecting the Iron Horse Corridor
The committee will be asked to review major projects that affect or potentially affect the Iron
Horse Corridor. Recent examples include the landscaping improvements for Walden Green Phase
II, the Hookston Station Landscaping Project and the recently completed pedestrian bridge behind
Danville Square. All of these projects were brought to the Committee for comment in the last year.
Projects which will have a major impact on the Corridor will continue to be brought to the
committee for review and input.
Suggested completion date: ongoing as needed
Task 6: Directional Signage
The Public Information Element was approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2010. This element
included recommendations for signage along the Iron Horse Corridor to provide relevant
information to the public. Over the last few years, the committee has discussed different types of
signage and costs associated with implementation and maintenance of the signage. The
committee recently discussed the possibility of implementing Wayfinding Guidelines that were
developed by another local agency and how to move forward with using the guidelines in the Iron
Horse Corridor.
