a bike path on this utility easement as part of the Coastal Rail Trail. They

lagoon crossings and a few other constrained points along the way). There are,

before this project will be fully realized.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

talking about Marion Bear park or <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">San
Clemente</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Canyon</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
I was referring to the next canyon north, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Rose</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Canyon</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>.
The trail is already in place on the north side the RR tracks. I rode it
all the way to Genessee and beyond. Strictly speaking, it is not even
inside the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Rose</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Canyon</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> reserve. All it would need
is to have the trail paved and deal with that "deep dip" that I
mentioned. To get to this trail from the north end of current bike
path, you turn right on <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">La
Jolla Colony Drive</st1:address></st1:Street>, go about 200 feet. There
is an opening in the hedges. You ride down the entrance (with a mountain
bike) and you can see two or three trails that parallel each other
eastward. You do not cross the RR track anywhere. A short path will
have to be added to connect it to the current <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Rose</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Creek</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>

As a nearby resident, I like the Marion Bear park as it is, a bit of wilderness
in the midst of an otherwise chaotic, hectic city. It's home for wildlife
and a place for casual walks and casual bike rides. A great effort
was made to put 52 on the side of the canyon rather than down the middle of it,
IMHO paving any of it is a mistake, even if it is for a bike path that could
make my commute a bit easier. <br>
<br>
I don't want to see anymore squashed lizards and runover rabbits and squirrils
as nor do I want to see cyclists riding as if they were racing down a two lane
bicycle path though the wilderness.<br>
