- Value Open Space Climbing?
PUBLIC INPUT MEETING
Created By: doug haller
City of Boulder OSMP Community Collaborative Group
Monday, December 6th, 6-9pm
East Boulder Recreation Center
We are nearing the end of the Community Collaborative Group process with the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks department. The CCG has assembled a list of preliminary recommendations for new trails, closures, and reroutes in the West Trail Study Area. OSMP will hold a meeting to present the recommendations and ask for public input. You can find is more information and details about the West TSA and CCG process at www.westtsa.org, and this article by the Daily Camera provides an overview.
The meeting will be on December 6, from 6 pm to 9 pm at the East Boulder Recreation Center.
YOU SHOULD COME BECAUSE:
1) We need to show the City of Boulder that the core climbing community is interested in access to their crags and bouldering areas.
2) There is a small but vocal contingency of Boulder people who want to severely restrict our access to open space, and they will be there. The conservation representatives proposed, for example, to cut off all access to open space at night. They also proposed fencing off the Old Mesa Trail between Eldorado Springs and the Matron. Neither of these proposals was agreed to, but the restrictionist mentality is there. We need reason and rationality to balance out the fringe.
3) If you climb or boulder with your dog, some of your access is at risk. The conservation caucus wants to ban dogs from Dinosaur Mountain. Show up and be heard.
THE BASIC AGENDA IS:
1. 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm: Poster session during which the public can review posters and maps summarizing CCG agreements. CCG members will be available during this time to answer questions.
2. 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm: Brief presentation on ground rules, goals of the meeting, the background of the CCG process, the highlights of the CCG agreements, and what happens next to CCG agreements, non-consensus items, and other issues discussed by the CCG. This will be followed by a facilitated question/answer session and discussion with the public.
3. 8:30 pm to 9:00 pm: Poster session again, with CCG members again available to answer questions and provide information to the public.
There will be printed comment cards at the meeting for the public to share their perspective in that format as well. Public questions and comments during the presentation segment will be recorded by staff.
