Space Hours of Use
Dear Mayor and Council members,
I am writing to encourage you to support access to public open space trails until at least 9pm. As a hiker, trail runner and
mountain biker, I regularly enjoy our open trail system many times a week. Long days make for easy access after work
however with short days of winter comming that after work or early morning access is not easily available. I am a strong
supporter of the environment and encourage a dense, compact urban footprint in order to preserve the open space and
aggricultural lands that make the central coast a unique California gem. I would argue that the open space trail system
within our City's boundaries are a hybrid part of this urban fabric and are closer to public parks than true wilderness. In
order for people to appreciate the environment, they need to be able to access and enjoy it. Again, I urge you to support
limited night access to our public open space trail system so that the hikers, runners and mountain bikers of our
community can enjoy these spaces at night until at least 9pm.
Thanks
JIM DUFFY
