Dear PRC,
As a parent of a 6 & 4 year old who uses the Morro Bay bike pump track, I'm writing to advocate for creation of a bike
pump track at either Sinsheimer or Laguna Lake Parks. Both of these locations have safe bike infrastructure connecting
residents to them (i.e. RRST & Madonna cycle track) and ample parking.
I'm not in favor of building a bike pump track off Bob Jones Trail on S. Higuera:
There is no safe bike infrastructure to get there. Yes the BJT is safe but S. Higuera is not safe as evidenced by the
recent fatality of Sal Cortez earlier this year.
There is no parking.
Families avoid this section of BJT due to transient encampments and feel unsafe due to the remote location.
Thank you for your consideration and all that you do serving our community!
