Open Space & Trails — Zone 7 Maintenance and the Doolan Canyon Legacy
active• dublin
Dublin's relationship with its surrounding open space is at a pivotal moment — with the Doolan Canyon protection affirmed by the Measure II ruling, but the city's trail network facing near-term disruption. Zone 7 Water Agency is conducting essential maintenance to the Tri-Valley flood protection system, impacting several Dublin trails from now through mid-October 2026 — a significant inconvenience for residents who depend on the trail network for recreation and active transportation. The broader open space policy question — what does Dublin do with the Crosby property now that commercial development is off the table? — will define the eastern edge of the city for decades. As an alternative to the Dublin Boulevard extension, a two-lane road connecting Croak Road to Collier Canyon Road for approximately $44 million was proposed during public comment — a lower-cost option that could preserve more open space while improving connectivity.
