Please consider building a cycling jump/pump track/skills park in a more centralized, accesible and SAFE
location in SLO. While the costco jumps weren't in the best location for accessibility, they were in a relatively
visible and safe area near neighborhoods and an existing public trail network. A more organized cycling center
is a necessity for our rapidly growing population and more importantly our growing group of kids that want to
get outside and enjoy a wholesome activity that encourages physical fitness. I've heard something about a
potential location near the water treatment plant and I couldn't believe it. That area is not very accessible to
kids on bikes since it requires crossing multiple busy streets and it isn't in close proximity to most slo
neighborhoods. Above all that area has been completely overrun with homeless encampments and all of the
negative side effects that go with it. Please consider the under utilized spaces in and around laguna lake park
with access by way of the new bike paths. With the construction of new housing developments across the
street this couldn't be a better location. Another potential spot is the open space near the railroad safety trail
and sinsheimer park.
Thanks!
