Important letter from Janis Shakelford
Hello, I need the help of all equestrians, hikers, bikers, equestrian related business owners, owners of horses stabled in Lakeside, and everyone else who wants to see our Lakeside Community Riding and Hiking Trails Plan supported.
Two weeks ago I presented an update to our current Trails Plan to the Lakeside Community Planning Group. As Subcommittee chair I asked the Planning Group to approve correction of various mapping errors on our current Trail Plan and to add additional trail linkages. However only the corrections were approved.
Six members of the Planning Group, for various reasons, refused to support the additional trails. I have requested the Update of the current Trails Plan be placed back on the May 21, 2008 agenda to again try to achieve support for the additional trails.
I believe that to gain a positive vote there will need to be an audience full of trail supporters ready to speak in favor of the update. There were five or six equestrians present at the last meeting, which was not enough to sway the negative planning group members. I hope a room full of supporters will make a difference.
Please tell everyone you know who have an interest in our Community Trails Plan to attend the Wednesday, May 21, 2008 meeting of the Planning Group. The meeting is held at the Community Center, by Lindo Lake at 7 PM.Janis Shackelford 561-6323
