| The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MidPen) owns and manages the vast majority of the land desirable for mountain biking in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. In 2014 local voters agreed to Measure AA, a surtax to pay for 200 miles of new trails on MidPen land. They are woefully behind on that commitment and in fact trail building has become misguided and lost momentum inside the organization. Attendees at a recent board meeting called MidPen out on this and in response they are hosting a Trail Study Session on Oct 25 (https://www.openspace.org/about-us/meetings/bod-20231025). Please attend, either in person or via Zoom, to show MidPen the huge interest by many local taxpayers in enjoyable mountain bike trails. You can submit comments in advance here (https://www.openspace.org/who-we-are/public-meetings/comment-form). It would be great if a few of you choose to speak as well but we probably don’t want more than 10 and they are limited to a couple of minutes, so choose a good representative for each group. Please see details below: When: October 25th, 5pm Where: MidPen Headquarters, 5050 El Camino Real, Los Altos or online via Zoom link below https://openspace.zoom.us/j/89868170212 or listening to the meeting by dialing (669) 900-6833 or (346) 248-7799 (Meeting ID 898 6817 0212). |
