You can participate by speaking (details on speaking) and /or sending an email to the city council at CC@rpv.com. We encourage RPV residents to voice their views. Email CORBA PV at info@mtbpv.org if you have questions.
Suggestions:
- Please don’t send duplicate emails or petitions, make them original.
- Keep it positive! No need to rant or complain, just tell them what you feel is a fair plan.
- For specific trails, use the names on the CORBA PV recommendations.
- For trails not on the map, try west or east of the closest named trail. There should be a map on display.
Below are some points to consider:
- Cyclist will stay on designated trails and not build new ones.
- Cyclists will volunteer to repair damage to trails.
- The bike community is working to make sure everyone knows the rules.
- There is no evidence that bike use impacts trails any differently from other users if they stay on designated trails.
- Cyclists have volunteered for trail work and deserve respect.
- I’ve volunteered to repair these trails. We deserve to ride them.
- Cyclists can control their bikes even on the steepest trail.
- I’ve never had a bad encounter with hikers or horses.
