Subject:Open Space Access Pilot
Hello,
This message is in place of my presence at the meeting tonight. I would love to be there, but I have some work
commitments that I can’t break tonight.
I wrote in on this issue late last year and received some responses. I’d just like to reiterate my support for the pilot
program. A major reason for my support is that it is a very limited pilot. I think good governance requires scaled
experiments to find true impacts. Running a pilot allows us to step above guessing and bickering about outcomes of
untested, full-scale policy change.
My previous messages described a little of my motivations and desires on the issue, so I’ll keep that part brief this
time. I love our open spaces – they are a prime reason why I stay in SLO. I’d like to experiment with a little bit more
access that lowers the barriers for myself and others living healthy, fulfilling lives including exercise and access to the
outdoors.
Thanks,
Aaron Williams
