It’s not over!
Last month more than 35 people spoke at the Open Space Board of Trustees (OSBT) meeting, with 29 speakers in favor of keeping trails open on the Joder Ranch, with parking. That is absolutely HUGE!!! Even more incredibly, the OSBT and City Council received more than 350 emails on this topic.
Congratulations and thanks! You guys have been doing great!
Alas, it’s still not over. The OSBT kicked the can into January… that’s now … and just today we learned that staff has kicked the can again, into February. After that comes the North Trail Study Area process, which they have promised will be completed in 2015.
So that means you will have several more opportunities to provide input, even if you have! Keep up the pressure, trail advocates!
We urge you to come to the next meeting of the Open Space Board of Trustees and speak under “Public Participation Items Not on the Agenda”:
Weds. January 14, 2015
Boulder City Council Chambers (Municipal Building)
Broadway & Canyon
6pm
It doesn’t have to be perfect, or eloquent, or creative. If you just want to say you support trails on Joder Ranch, that’s okay. Or you can just say that you support BATCO’s position, which is for a loop trail and trailer parking. Or you can elaborate on the history of the ranch and Bob & Eloise’s commitment to having it be open to horses and trails. But if you don’t say anything, they won’t know which side you’re on.
Be polite but firm. Do not — ever — put down any other user group.
If you can’t make it to the meeting, click here to send a personal email to the Boulder City Council and Open Space Board of Trustees. Please write a short paragraph about your interest in the ranch, the Joder family, trails in general and access to our public lands. Send your email ASAP to give the OSBT members time to read it thoughtfully before the meeting.
Every person who communicates is a “vote” for trails in Boulder.
