Subject:Agenda Item 11#: Support for Extending the Open Space Evening Hours
Dear SLO City Council,
I am writing to express my full support for the temporary extension of the open space evening hours of use
pilot program.
As a trail runner and a parent of two, I have really appreciated the ability to use the trails in the early morning
and evenings, especially while we are in a COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, by extending the hours of when the
trails are open, it enables people to use it at times when it is less crowded. Second, during the winter months
and shorter days, it's especially helpful for the trails to be open in the evening hours. While I used to go on my
trail runs while my kids were in-person at school, now, I only have time to go before they start their virtual
learning or after my spouse gets home from work. Finally, a temporary extension of the open space evening
hours this winter would support the mental and physical health of our community.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
-Joyce Tseng, MPH
