Milpitas Coyote Creek Trail, 2015 vs. 2021 by Ronald Horii
The Milpitas section of the Coyote Creek Trail between Hwy 237 and N. McCarthy Blvd. in Milpitas was dedicated in June of 2006. I've been riding my bike along it for many years. I remember when there were active farms between the trail and McCarthy Blvd. There was a farmhouse, wells, water tank, packing house, farmworker housing, and row crops. I don't have pictures from those times. I have pictures from 2015, when the farms were inactive, and the land was starting to be prepared for development. There were still some remnants of the old farm. By 2021, it was all gone. The farm fields were mostly replaced by parking lots, office buildings, warehouses, and commercial businesses. Here are views of the trail going north in 2015 (6/15/15) and 2021 (9/26/21), showing how the land use east of the trail has changed. The trail and the land to the west of it have not changed.
