East Bay Regional Park District planning has selected it’s preferred option based on public input from planning meetings and site open houses. The preferred plan contains about 4 miles of multi-use trails with bike access to all trails and 1.6 miles of accessible trails. The plan contains provisions to expected future trails to Deer Valley park connecting to Black Diamond Regional Preserve. This option also includes 2.7 miles of channel restoration/creation/enhancement and 2 acres of enhanced seasonal wetlands and vernal pools. Dedicated equestrian and bus parking is inclulded.
Please take a moment now to view the plan and make a public comment Your comment doesn’t need to be long or complicated. If you’re happy with the bike access that is there then let them know that to increase the chance that it remains in the final plan. If there are things you’d like them to consider that are not included then ASK them for those things. It’s important to participate in the process even if it’s hard to see it makes a difference. It does make a difference but it takes a long time. Project information including the preliminary options can be found on their Roddy Ranch page.
The district is aiming to finalize their plan this summer.
