You mean like the "environmental damage" they NEVER DOCUMENTED in 95 according to their OPRA responses?Bruce says MTB causes environmental damage. Says WR is not underutilized. Saw Strava times 2/24 and another date.
FHs voting. Jalloh abstains. Wright yes. 5-3-1 no access. Game over.
That was my exact thought, another 20 years of studies dragging it out forever.sure cause 20 years of bogus policy ain't long enough...

This is sad. Have any of the FH's actually said what makes Watchung so unique that multi use won't work there when it works pretty much everywhere else? Have they actually seen what a seriously bad problem the reservation has with eroded, gullied, fall line trails (just like SoMo)? Have they taken the time to visit other parks where people who know how to build sustainable trails have worked their magic? Seems like a cop out vote. Shameful, really, and a huge disappointment especially for the locals. Thanks to everyone who gave this their all.
The FH don't like conflict and the opposition won't share, or so they think...
The FH brought up the condition of the trails-they are aware.
I think Bergen's math was not necessarily correct regarding trail density at other parks, but I haven't checked.
I actually saw Strava times for Allaire where someone claimed to ride UPHILL on a very tight trail section at 25+ mph. Strava definitely contains some false data, it's literally not possible to do some of the things people have claimed on there on an mtb, even if it had a motor just due to how twisty the trail is.Wow someone actually researched posted strava times and used it for opposition. I wont even get started on that.....
I'm guessing there's no appeal to the decision but wonder how long before the question arises again and someone tries to take on the powers that be in UC and fights once gain for access? 10 years, 20 years, never?
Scared off by potential lawsuits? Sorry to hear
Think liability is their major concern or just an excuse?
