Tonight at 7:00 PM, the San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Commission is holding a special meeting that could affect the future of mountain biking in the Bay Area.
The Commission is meeting to hear comments and make a recommendation on the most recent draft of its Master Plan for future development of Huddart and Wunderlich County Parks.
While the Master Plan has many different components, including additional signage, new restrooms, and trail and infrastructure improvements, the "main flash point is bicycles." Namely, the newly revised Master Plan proposes making small parts of both parks accessible to bicyclists in order to provide an off-road corridor linking Highway 84 to Skyline Road.
