Dear Parks and Rec Commission,
I would like to encourage the Parks and Rec department to prioritize adding a pump track at Laguna Lake, with Sinshimer
being my second preferred location. These two parks have been identified in the recently approved Parks and Rec
blueprint for 2021-2024.
Both parks have lots of space and dirt to accomodate a pump track and would be in good proximity to existing trails and
school routes so that kids would have a fun after school activity to do on their bike ride home. These locations are also
able to be accessed via safe bike infrastructure such as the new Madonna cycle track and Railroad Safety Trail.
I would like to discourage adding a track along the Bob Jones Trail segment off S. Higuera. This is a rather poor place to
put the pump track since there is currently no low stress access to the trail and no parking either. I strongly feel that
time and resources should be focused on the locations that have low stress bikeway connectivity and are along school
routes.
Thank you,
-Myles
