I've had staff tell me they don't know why I am so concerned about this trail. I've already pointed out <br /> the reasons this trail is so important. As for condition, it has good pavement from 1-580 almost to <br /> Stoneridge where for a short distance it becomes crushed gravel, which is dusty in the dry <br /> season. Then there is a very short section of pavement which contains some cracks. Then there are <br /> sections of larger, thicker gravel which is difficult to ride a bike on. There are some sections where <br /> half the width of the trail is gravel and the other half pavement. There are even sections where there <br /> is gravel on top of pavement. The connecting Arroyo Mocho trail is all thick gravel where users need <br /> to stay in pickup tire tracks to stay off thick unstable gravel. It is simply not safe for many users which <br /> discourages use. <br /> Please direct staff to use repair and replacement funds to repair the presumably already existing trail <br /> which should cost $200,000 or less and is far less than many routine repair and replacement items. <br /> This would save Measure BB funds for other safety improvements on our streets. <br /> When people feel unsafe walking or riding then they drive. We need to be encouraging people to get <br /> out of their cars to mitigate traffic and improve the quality of the air that we all breathe. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Sharon Piekarski <br /> z <br />
