Hello Mary,

Ela
I have written the council members stating my position on the intention to add an asphalt bike
trail to the existing berm trail.
Would you please forward them my e-mail?
All walkers, joggers, bicyclists, strollers and equines have enjoyed the Berm together wonderfully since the
70's. San Juan Capistrano offers more trails for bicyclists than to equines.
By adding in a class 1 asphalt bike trail on the existing berm trail would create heavier bike
traffic which is incompatible with equine riders. Currently the few bikers that enjoy this trail
give equine riders the common courtesy where they will stop 8v wait for an equine rider to pass
before continuing on in order not to spook the horse. It would be quite difficult to share heavy
bike traffic on the berm with horses that are easily spooked by bicyclists.
The Berm always has and is working just fine as it is therefore I see no need for any change.
Thank you,
Vicki Shook
