On Tuesday Feb 12, please come to the El Paso County Parks Board
meeting at 1:30 pm at Board of County Commissioners meeting room
on 3rd floor of 27 E. Vermijo (between Cascade and Tejon) for
citizen comment since we were not allowed on the agenda. Free
on-street parking is available around Wahsatch and Vermijo just
a few blocks away. If you work downtown, just walk on over!
TOSC (Trails and Open Space Coalition) is opposing the County's
proposed motorcycle park at Corral Bluffs which TOSC hopes will
become a 3,000 acre regional park along with Jimmy Camp Creek
Park for the eastside of town. Someone has said this is the "Red
Rock Canyon of the eastside".
We will know on Monday whether the state will recommend funding
for this ill advised motorcycle area. There are alternatives that
the County must explore!
Please tell County Parks to put no more money into this project.
In fact at least three of the County Park Board members feel they
haven't even voted for the concept of a motorcycle "park" or voted
for spending $275,000 of Conservation Trust Fund money and $275,000
of Developer Park Fee money. Please help stop this misguided proposal!
Please go to www.SaveCoralBluffs.com
for much more information.
Please let me know if you plan on attending. You don't need to
speak, but your presence will be appreciated.
