Thanks Cecily.As Ron said, please take the 5-10 minutes to fill out the form. Also, please consider mentioning the need for more advanced trails (or sections) as well, possibly a downhill traffic only trail, to meet the progressive needs of mtb'ers.
Cheers.

Thanks for posting Cecily.
Anybody who rides or wants to ride Powell Butte I
would urge to fill out the form Cecily posted. I did it a few weeks
back. I focused on having them construct trails that could withstand
hikers, horses and bikers (I suggested using IMBA trail standards) even in the
middle of winter so people could use the park not just on "nice days". I
tried to be positive about making it a place where all users could have access
and the importance of it being available to people who want to ride their
mountain bikes without driving a car a long distance to make it
happen.
This is a great way to let your voice be
heard. Say nothing and we get what others want! This small mountain
can be a great place to ride and train.

(Portland) Project Advisory Committee:URGENT! Please fill out the Design
Process Comment Form!!
The
PAC is progressing towards a close and making a recommendation as to which
trail and park improvement plan will be the preferred solution. Last night's
meeting was the last chance for in-person public input into the
process. The only way now for the public to provide input is to
fill out the online comment form: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/index.cfm?c=51455&
The
comment form will be open until the end of the year. It is vital that we make
our voices heard and show support for increased, sustainable trails on Powell
Butte and that increased trail access does not have to come at the determinant
of wildlife and habitat. The form allows for detailed comments on each trail
design concept; please be as detailed as possible in your answers (like
referencing the trail design principles, access and trail experience, and
natural resource protection). The concepts range from
maintaining/improving existing trails to creating many new trails and
routes.
Thanks
for taking the time to help shape the future of Powell Butte! Please fill out
the form!
Cecily
