RED ROCK CANYON
SIERRA
CLUB
COUNTERATTACK
Last mon th I reported that a suitable
compromise solution had been reached
on the question of Red Rock Canyon.
At that time there was an Assembly Bill
in the works that wol,lld 'have modified
the State Park Law eliminating the
restriction on motor vehicles imposed
by the phrase, "ingress, egress and
parking." The bill, even at that time,
was not as open as the California
Recreational Trails Committee would
have liked, but it seemed that a
reasonable compromise had been worked
out with the Sierra Club.
At this month's meeting of the
California Recreational Trails
Committee it was announced that the
Sierra Club has done it again. They have
managed to have the bill changed in
committee to reinstate the original
words. The bill now contains nothing of
value to motorcyclists. Mr. Robert
Meyers of the P arks and Recreation
Department stales that the Sierra Club
did "at least 90% of the lobbying" on
the bill. Motorcyclists did less than 10%.
Since this bill has been stripped of
those portions that are important to
cyclists, while many paragraphs of
importance to the Parks and Recreation
Department and the Sierra Club remain,
it seems to me that our best course of
action is to write to congressmen and
ask that they not pass the bill in its
presen t form. Ask them to pass no bill
relating to State Park Law that contains
or allows to stand the damning phrase
"ingress, egress and parking," used with
respect to motor vehicle operation
within the State Park system.
What is called a "dummy" bill has
reportedly already passed the Senate
because it now contains nothing of
interest to anybody. If, however, 868 is
defeated in the Senate, it is planned to
tack the amendments onto the dummy
bill and route them through the
Assembly at the last moment. Advise
your congressman of this plan as well
. and ask him to vote against it should it
com~up.
Since the Sierra Club lobby seems to
be in full swing on this matter and our
own lobby is non-<:xistent, I have little
hopes that 868 and its ghostly
counterpart will be defeated. It would
take a whole lot of Ie tters in a very
short time. If the bill should pass, our
rights to use motorcycles in any state
park will, under the best of conditions,.
be entirely at the whim of whatever
State Park official is in charge of that
particular park.
To save Red Rock Canyon
specifically (all State Parks are affected
by AB 868), our one remaining hope is
to have it classified a State Recreation
Area instead of a State Park. The
Classification Hearing in which the fmal
decision will be made will be held on
Friday, July 13, in the auditorium of
the new State Office Building in Los
. Angeles. The hearing is scheduled to
start at 10 a.m. Come prepared to
speak.
