Subject: Bishop's Peak - Highland Drive
To: "E-mail Council Website" <emailcouncil@slocity org>
Dear Mayor Harmon & City Council Members:
I urge you delay making any decision to eliminate parking on Highland Drive at the Bishop's Peak
trailhead pending further study and input from the community you represent. The elimination of
parking at this popular trailhead in a city that treasures its open spaces and trails seems
counterintuitive and premature. The elimination of this parking would further exacerbate parking
problems in the adjoining neighborhoods and alternative trailheads to Bishop's Peak.
I concur with the numerous points and suggestions offered by John Ashbaugh. In particular, I think it
most appropriate to bring this item before the Parks & Recreation Commission and Planning
Commission for their review and recommendations prior to your making any decisions on this
matter. This would also allow the public an opportunity to weigh in on this important issue.
I hope you are willing to take the time to solicit more input and information on this matter so you can
make an informed decision and best represent our community.
Thank you.
John Grady
San Luis Obispo
