Nature Area Bike Skills Park

A lifelong resident and CPA asked the council to table the bike park, citing lack of public input, loss of the off-leash dog area, and a city employee's involvement with the ACA.

Said the public got no meaningful notice of the agreement, argued park use shouldn't be set by a private group, and suggested alternate sites like the abandoned soccer field and Bear Park.

A longtime resident who uses the area for his dog said a bike park would compromise the current peaceful use and urged the council not to act that night.

A nearby landowner on 11.5 acres east of the pond said the forestry is unique, noted the missing off-leash sign, and asked for tabling so residents can review the impact.

A neighbor who was previously familiar with the plan said she isn't strongly against it but agreed with the concerns raised about dog running and open space.
