CNLM Letter from Spielberg
Hi Sunny and Richard,
I was out all last week with the flu, but have been meaning to get back to you.
I realize that many of you are anxious to get out to the preserve to bike again. But there’s lots to do between now and anytime that this area is re-opened.
I first have to meet with the County to see what their position is going to be. In the short term, they wanted to see the track removed and then move forard from that point. I also want to start reviewing the entire area to make some long term trail planning decisions.
I’m happy to meet with you, but it will have to wait until mid december or so. I have all my deadlines for reports and other things, and need to get a new employee trained. We also have seen riders in the preserve and need to spend some time talking to people in the field. We need to make sure that the work we just did doesn’t get vandalized and that there is no additional problems.
In addition, the holiday are upon us.
I also need to meet with the County.
This is going to be a process and may take over a year to resolve. One of the problems is that people are still riding on the development (future development) areas that have not been graded. In addition, we’ve seen illlegal trail building near the Los Monos Preserve which we have to stop. I feel that we need a few months to just get things under control.
How does the 2nd week of December look for you? and can we meet at lunch time at the skate board park parking lot?
Please be patient. We’ve already burned thousands of dollars dealing with the issue, and have burned even more cleaning out all the homeless encampments.
Thanks,
Markus Spiegelberg
