General Comments –

County must emphasize in any community meeting or communication that the pump track use, general locations and maximum 1 AC size has already been determined, and that it is a design meeting and not a space usage meeting. Community input is only focused on the design characteristics of the pump track. Graphic needs to show more accurately general size and location.  A setback buffer will be provided between track and existing eucalyptus trees to minimize damage to the track and safety concerns with falling debris.

• County and designer need to be on the same page before showing any options to the public.
• Project is supported by GCSD, although formal funding agreement not complete.
  Coastside Mountain Bike has raised funds for the project.
• Picnic table spacing should reflect social distancing concerns.
• Avoid week of Sept 24 for community meeting; conflict with another meeting.
• The pump track designer will collaborate with the focus group to develop one single preferred concept plan with skills feature options for community comment (not 3 alternatives)
• Preferred option features:
  • Seamlessly integrate 3 areas for multiple continuous loop experience
  • Provide variety of challenges and experience; balance safety and challenge
  • This is not a jump track, careful design of “table tops”
  • Potential trail skill features should be on optional routes. Perimeter trail should provide access for non-skilled riders.
  • Like bridge, not logs.
• Provide a flow course that can be accessible by all skill levels
  • Integrate beginner, intermediate, and advanced terrain with “informal” barrier/ separation
  • Universal terrain
  • Interior + exterior integration
• Tracks should offer a variety of lines; must be rideable from any direction
  • “want to be able to loop around in a million different ways”
  • Ability to link lines
• Allow space for entry level riders to feel safe, but do not make beginner track completely separated from the other lanes
• Slow speed terrain (skills course) along perimeter
  • Allow access to middle space
• Skills course: more features the better
  • Different features will diversify the use and promote more access
• Keep space around the technical terrain for those who want to bypass
• Work closely with bike community to learn favorable terrain during process
