May update on Stockdale staging area

Ed. Note: This was posted by Betty on May 30th and will be found under comments, but I didn't want it to get lost, so here it is again.
I went by the staging area today. (5-30-09) A new chain link fence has been installed that cuts off all access from the East end of the staging area. We used to ride around the end of the fence at the edge of the canal but that is impossible now. Is riding across the bicycle bridge our only option at the moment? I was told horses were not to use the bicycle bridge, has that changed? Betty
Betty, I was just told at a recent meeting that this East end was going to be OPENED UP for us with a gate just for us...guess it didn't happen. Well, back to the city planning meetings and council meetings.
Again, I can't encourage each of you enough to 1) ride these areas 2) document with pictures 3) send pictures and letters to ALL council members and supervisors, 4) go to County and City meetings, and 5) Join equestrian groups.

Carolyn Belli and I met with KC Water Agency staff and city staff at the staging area in May. We proposed a solution to the equestrian access problem that solved everyone's concerns but it has to go to the water agency's board for approval. The board meeting is not until later in June so we won't have a final solution to announce until after their board meeting.
