Here’s a good way to meet people on the board, while doing the right thing for access:





When: Thursday May 18, 7pm 10 Elizabethtown Plaza, Elizabeth - GET THERE EARLY!!

The meeting room has limited capacity and the opposition (NIMBYs, etc.) will be out in force.





The Union County Freeholders have re-introduced a resolution to "disapprove" MTB access in the Watchung Reservation Master Trails Plan. Our understanding is that the Freeholders want to put this issue to rest, and the vote on this resolution is the vehicle to do so.

What does it mean: If approved, MTB access to Watchung will be removed from the Master Trails Plan. In other words, all of our hard work over the years for equitable access to Watchung will be for nothing!

What should we do: We must DEFEAT this resolution. To do so, we need 5 of the 9 freeholders to vote NO. First: contact the freeholders and tell then to vote NO. Email addresses below. Second, submit comments on the UC website in support of MTB access. Link below. (MTB community are responsible users, encourage healthy lifestyles, equitable access, etc.) Third, do everything in your power to attend the next freeholder meeting (details above). Fourth, spread the word!! We know that our community is advocating, but we need the casual rider and non-riders to weigh in.



Who: UC Freeholder email addresses:
bbergen@ucnj.org
sgranados@ucnj.org
linda.carter@ucnj.org
aestrada@ucnj.org
chudak@ucnj.org
mjalloh@ucnj.org
bkowalski@ucnj.org
amirabella@ucnj.org
vwright@ucnj.org

How: http://ucnj.org/parks-recreation/paths-trails-greenways/watchung-reservation-trails-master-plan/

Final Thoughts: the outcome of this vote is Not a "done deal." Our voices matter, and the freeholders do listen. We couldn't have gotten this far without everyone's efforts. We need one last push to realize our goal of MTB access at Watchung!!

Thank you, and #freewatchung

I'll be at HMP tomorrow morning @ 6 :15 am. I'm probably intermediate skill-wise, less than that fitness-wise. Oh, and my bike creaks.
