Here's a suggested comment:
"I live in Closter and often walk my dog on trails in Bergen County parks. I also enjoy mountain biking, but I have to leave the County to ride because there are no legal trails on Bergen County parkland. I would like the County Parks Master Plan to mention biking as an allowed passive recreation activity in Alpine Reserve North, Alpine Reserve South, and Norwood East Hill."
