Community Trail Planning Meeting - July 14th! Please Attend

Remember the $50,000 in Trail Bond Funds that is dedicated to Billy Goat Hill?  Recall what a muddy mess the lower trail is in the winter and how steep it is always?  Its time to get started fixing it!!

The evening of Wednesday July 14th, at 6:30 in the Upper Noe Rec Center, we are hosting a discussion about the plans for fixing the lower trail with the SFRPD Natural Areas Program and Capital Improvements Team. They will present the design concept and ask for our feedback. An advanced sneak peek assures me that you will like what you see! The lower entrance will also be much more inviting and will look like a park entrance. A new trail will be carved with switch-backs and an gentler slope. Drainage will be dealt with. Dangerous trails will be covered up. The RPD staff current expect that we can get started as early as September!

We will also discuss ideas for getting more volunteers (particularly young, strong ones) involved in this trail project. Volunteers will critically important to the success of this park improvement project.

Please join us for refreshments and a fun discussion about improving our neighborhood park, Billy Goat Hill.
