Plans for a 52-mile trail system along the San Diego River are moving ahead through a new county task force of local nonprofit, tribal and government officials.
The goal of the San Diego River Park Task Force is “to accelerate the vision of an interconnected walk and bike system from Ocean Beach all the way to the mountains,” Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said in an interview Wednesday.
The task force met for the first time in March, when members identified priorities for the park, and again on Wednesday, to discuss funding for the plan. In coming months the group will set the route for a linear park along the waterway, decide on amenities, and propose a funding system for the improvements.

Carlsbad approved a 12-month pilot hotel-motel voucher program last week as part of an array of new and expanded services intended to reduce homelessness by 50 percent in the city over the next five years.
The voucher program is expected to cost up to $3.2 million, though reimbursement may be available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for expenses incurred through September. The city hopes to have it “up and running” by June, said Deputy City Manager Gary Barberio.
“We know this program is of great interest to the community, Barberio said. “Lots of concerns and questions have been raised.”
Two of the homeless people often found at Magee Park said Friday morning they would be glad to get motel rooms. Located along Carlsbad Boulevard, just south of the Army and Navy Academy, the park has public restrooms, water fountains and shady nooks that make it a regular stop for the unsheltered.
