A clear response from we, the environmentally responsible, overwhelming majority of mountain bikers, is required to address the first three items. What you can do Read the report. Arm yourself with the data. Send a letter. Probably the largest way by which public opinion is judged is by the number of letters that are received supporting a particular position.
Every letter makes a difference.
After this deadline, you can still comment to the public utilities commission and the boards of supervisors for San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. Each person in your household can respond individually. Your letter does not have to be long, but should state support for opening this trail to bikes clearly and politely. Below is a sample text. Dear Ms. Gitelman, I have read with great interest of the Peninsula Watershed management plan and environmental impact report.
