Here
is some good news on the trails front!The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the new County Trails
Master Plan on January 12th.This will save literally 100’s of miles of trails in San
DiegoCounty.This took thousands of volunteer hours
to map existing and wished for trails, write new regulations and standards and
work to ensure the Supervisors would approve the plan.It was a group effort made together by
all the different trail users; bikers, hikers and equestrians.It will now be very difficult for
development to close trails and make it much easier to insure our children and
grand children will have a trail to ride on.
Also
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) has partnered with San
DiegoCounty
to allow (as in legal/deeded) trail use on it’s easements in south San
DiegoCounty.This is a first for SDG&E who would
not even return phone calls when trail easements were left on the message.The Turkey Trot was on some of the
trails! Celebrate everyone this is a GIAGANTIC win !!!
