MARIN HEADLANDS’ RODEO VALLEY TRAIL PROPOSED FOR ROAD BICYCLES:

In an effort to alleviate traffic problems encountered by road bicycles on the nearby (paved) Bunker Road, GGNRA planners are considering ‘adding ‘road oyl’ or some other ‘dirt’ hardening material which would enable road bicycles to ride the Rodeo Valley Trail east/west toward the Beach or GGBridge. No longer will equestrians enjoy a ‘traffic-free’ country-like trail. The Rodeo Valley Trail is the ONLY bicycle-free trail in the southern section of the Marin Headlands. The trail is enjoyed by hikers and equestrians and is the designated equestrian segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. Your letters opposing this proposal urgently needed. Draft EIS Comments due by August 12, 2007. Please write to: Superintendent, Golden Gate National Recreation Area\Attn: MH_FB TMP Fort Mason, Building 201, San Francisco, CA 94123
