ALIGNMENT B NOT FEASIBLE
The County has been trying to obtain an Easement to construct an asphalt and concrete bike road through through the Modoc Preserve using back channels for over 2 years...but, no amount of wanting and wishing for it...drumming up public opinion and false marketing...etc...is going to change things...LTSB and LCMWC have the "obligation" and "enforcement" parts of the Easement Agreement worked out...and, the County has been legally notified since they were also mistaken on "chain of command"...and, unfortunately their lack of understanding has misled a number of other folks in the community...the County has been trying to market and sell them something that they don't own...like the air you breathe...;-)
In a nutshell...this is pretty much all you need to understand...
"La Cumbre Mutual Water Company as Landowner under the Conservation Easement has the duty to comply with its terms and it may not allow others, including the County, to engage in any use or activity that violates the terms, restrictions, or conditions of the Conservation Easement. "
It's kind of hard to figure a path forward...no pun intended...;-) for an ADA compliant road/path/trail in the Preserve...using the County's preferred road building materials and methods of construction (destruction)...
The County has been told several times now that what could possibly be allowed is an unpaved path without retaining walls...
Again, for only a couple of hundred yards...the County could just simply put this issue to bed and get on with the bidding process and construction by extending the Obern Trail, which does not have wide Class II bike lanes on either side of it,
with a vehicle barrier...the remaining distance up to Via Senda...using existing asphalt infrastructure in their ROW...(right of way)...
This Obern Trail extension, Greenbelt Alignment...is a win...win...win...
Cyclists get their MUP away from cars...equestrians and horses keep their natural trail away from bikes and cars...and, pedestrian walkers...dog walkers...birders...nature lovers get to keep the trees and hiking trails away from bikes and cars...
