Greetings Monkeys.
I just ( this morning) got out of a very positive meeting with the City Parks for Camp Sekani, fondly called Beacon.
We've got the real go ahead now to start finalizing our plans for for legal trail and stunt building. There have been precedents set by some of the skate parks in the city, so the liability thing is sort of a non-issue. We do a property walk through to address ideas and issues in two weeks. Last year was the warm up, this year we are going to do some real work up there. I know I've been posting about this for a year, but now it actually seems like it's going to happen.:dancing::dancing:
Already we are ok'd and working on trail maintenance, mapping and developing signage. Lots more is possible, with a plan and some standards, working through the club with the city. ( this is the important part, if you don't work though us it won't be legal, this is why we want your help and input!!)
Those of us working on this have our ideas of what could be part of a long term plan for the park. Everything will be better with more input from more riders. So, things are definately up for discussion.
-if we ( the club) hosted a Beacon round table session, at a local bike shop or ??, would any one come to see what we've got planned and to share their ideas?
-want to discuss here instead? Should I post the plan/wish list that we've been working on?
Also, now's the time if you've heard rumors or second hand info about "the club" to get the answers.
any input, comments, questions are gratefully appreciated at this point.
thank, geargrrl
