Art and I made it to the high school tonight for a special Board of Trustees meeting. Tonight the fate of the infamous "in the vicinity of Bohn Park" trailhead for Heil Ranch was to be decided. Honestly, with all the bitching and moaning that's been going on by the NIMBYs that live in the area, I was really surprised that there were not more folks at this meeting. Granted, it was pretty full as is, but mostly by the outspokin majority that's been to a lot of the public meetings already. I know of several folks that live near the proposed trailhead that are suprisingly against the location that did not come out in support of their viewpoint. Oh well, hindsight is 20/2o, eh?
In the end, it came down to majority vote that the North Heil Trailhead will be located in Bohn Park. I'm sure LaVerne and the Golden Gang and all other NIMBYs or those resistant to change will try to get a petition going or something. We'll see how that goes over. Make sure to read the local paper on Thursday!
Honestly, I think it's great. We've supported a commitment that we've already made to Boulder County. By showing them that we can be a supportive partner, we can now look to the future in good faith and partnership to things like a connector to Rabbit Mt, the Certain Death trail, and trail access to Steamboat Mountain. Good things are on the horizon and this should help with all of that.
Hmm, Tuesday Ride time. It's rain/snowing now so stay tuned. If it's really crappy, or there's lots of snow, we'll keep it local. I'll put more details up tomorrow around 1.
