More groups forced onto same narrow paths as reports of conflict between mountain bikers, hikers and equestrians rise.
in the East Bay Times noted that the impetus for a proposed trails pilot project in Briones Regional Park is conflict caused by more visitors and “the growing number of illegal ‘bootleg’ trails at Briones and other regional parks.” These are real problems, and they must be addressed.
East Bay Parks is increasingly putting all user groups on the same narrow trails, even as reports of conflict between mountain bikers, hikers and equestrians are on the rise. Ask around: Many people who spend time on trails in the East Bay Regional Park District have witnessed or experienced a collision or a near-miss.
This is all happening as the district moves to make important decisions about the use of park facilities less open and transparent. The board has approved changes to their operational ordinance that give more authority to the general manager and cut the public and the elected and publicly accountable board out of the process.
