Dear City Council,
I am writing to recommend that the City reconsider inclusion of Alternative 3 (bike parks) in the Righetti
Ranch Park contract. A bicycle skills facility of this nature is an offering currently missing from our city
parks, and when paired with the recently completed trails on Righetti Hill this Alternative will make the
park an important destination for the biking community. In particular, the Alternative 3 facilities would be
beneficial for younger riders who are still learning and need to build their skills and confidence
before riding the more challenging trails in the areas surrounding the City.
I understand that the city and its residents have many desires for what is included in this park, and that
they are faced with the reality of budget constraints. However, the Alternative 1 facilities (pickleball
courts) can be found at other local parks, including nearby EA French Park.
At a minimum, I ask that they city make a commitment to ensuring that any supplemental funds in the
city budget next year be allocated to ensuring the bridge is installed to provide access across the creek
as part of this project to ensure that the bike park can be constructed if funding becomes available in the
future, or through a community effort.
Thank you,
Shelly Donohue, San Luis Obispo Resident
