Parks & Rec to hold Los Angeles
hearing
California's Parks & Recreation Commiss ion, those good f olk s w ho
class ified about 25,000 acres of newly-acquired state land (located in
the Santa Monica Mountains ) as " Par k" and zero acres as
" Recreation", t hus closing it all to t rai lr iding access, w ill be in Los
Angeles January 14 for a public hearing on the Santa Monica
Mountains General Plan. That plan is the result of months of public
m eetings - meetings which were attended by many concerned
motorcyclists, even though we'd officially " lost" our bid to have some
of the land rec lassified.
The General Plan openly admits that trailriders' needs are not met
by the plan. The staff planners have said that if bikers showed enough
int erest. they would try to recommend a reclassification of some
unspecified area for recreational use.
You can help show int erest by attending the meeting, beginning at
10 a.m . Friday, January 14, at the Quality Inn on Century Blvd. near LA.
International A irport. You can make your own public statement by
w riting in advance to Margo Woods, c/o Parks & Recreation
Commission, Box 2390, Sacramento, CA 95811. You may also register
for a t ime slot at the meeting. Trials clubs, enduro clubs, and family
trailriding groups are especially urged to make a showing. CN wilfbe
there, too.
