Are you interested in participating in public comment to advocate for more and better trails? We need your support and would like to continue to ramp up the number of public comments related to increasing mountain bike access to narrow trails and more advanced mountain bike trails on East Bay Regional Park District lands.
EBRPD holds its regular first and third Tuesday schedule in September on the following dates:
- Tuesday September 7th, 1 pm
- Tuesday September 21st, 1 pm
Can you make a live comment or written comment for one of those meetings? Please add these dates to your calendar as a reminder.
There is a 3 minute time limit but all written comments become part of the meeting record and are supposed to be sent to the board. You message doesn’t need to be long so don’t sweat that–we just need to hear from you!
Public comments may be submitted one of three ways:
- Via email to Yolande Barial Knight, Clerk of the Board, at ybarial@ebparks.org. Email must contain in the subject line either “public comments – not on the agenda” or “public comments – agenda item #”. It is preferred that these written comments be submitted by 3:00 pm the Monday before the meeting. These comments will NOT be read during the meeting but made a part of the final board packet.
- Via voicemail at (510) 544-2016. The caller must start the message by stating public comments – not on the agenda or public comments – agenda item # followed by their name and place of residence, followed by their comments. It is preferred that these voicemail comments be submitted by Monday, August 9, 2021 at 3:00 pm. These comments will NOT be read during the meeting but will be made a part of the final board packet.
- Live via Zoom. If you would like to make a live public comment during the meeting this option is available through the virtual meeting platform: *Note: this virtual meeting platform link will let you into the virtual meeting for the purpose of providing a public comment.
If you do not intend to make a public comment please use this YouTube link to observe the meeting. It is preferred that those requesting to speak during the meeting contact the Clerk of the Board at ybarial@ebparks.org by 3:00 pm on the Monday before the meeting via email or voicemail (510) 544-2016 to provide name and the subject of the public comment or item to be addressed.
