Council Members,
I am writing you to support access for cyclists on the Righetti Hill Trail. Please consider the following when making your
decision:
1. There is plenty of room for all users on this trail.
2. There are currently hiking only trails (Islay) in this immediate area and no multi use trails on the Islay/Righetti
side of town.
3. I do not agree that there will be conflict issues on this specific hill that are different than any other multi use
trail in SLO.
4. This is a great .8 mile trail for beginning riders, specifically kids.
5. Although this is a short trail, it allows riders of all abilities and time constraints to get outside for a quick
healthy dose of nature.
6. Many users will need to drive and park in the surrounding neighborhoods to access this trail (we already see
this at the Islay trailhead). Forcing car trips goes against the city's climate action goals.
Thank you for your consideration.
Christopher Barnickel
