Will,

Do you think you could attend our meeting on Tuesday and perhaps have Dave
come? We will be focusing the meeting on volunteer appreciation but this
is a hot topic. I would not mind setting aside a few minutes to give some
information to the club members.

If a bribe will work Susan is bringing a cake.

Shane

RE: [pumpclub] Cyclecross/pump track/ sklls park greenlighted in SE






Just wanted to give an update. I just takled to Dave and got a little more
information about the project vision. This has been sold to parks and rec
as a kids bike school with a cyclecross track. Dave has been working for a
few years trying to nail down a location to teach bike skills to kids k-8.


Dirt is supposed to arrive this weekend, at which point the tracks will
get
started. There will be an area for very small TTFs and an area for a pump
track.
I am meeting up with Dave tomorrow to do a walk through of what he has
permission to do on the site and get more information about what has been
agreed upon and by whom. He has been working on this for a few years and
only got approval after agreeing not to do jumps and anything elevated. It
does not sound like at this point there is an overall plan and that this
is
coming together very organically. Will update after we talk tomorrow.

I dropped a line to Alta Planning and Design, Gravity Logic, Hoots, and
IMBA
to get a feel for what kind of financial commitment it woudl take to get
professionals to do site planning.

I know at this stage, Dave would be excited to get help from PUMP, WTF or
other organizations.

Tomorrow I plan on mostly listening and asking questions and get more of a
guage of what has transpired and who is involved.

If anyone has specific questions I should ask, throw them out there.

Thanks,
Will

Awesome, Jordon. It sounds like this project can use all the help it can
get. After my brief conversation with Dave, it sounded like they had the
green light to start, but did not have a plan yet. Dave sounded to me like
he was more familiar with the cyclecross aspect but was clear that this
was
ment to cover the spectrum of dirt based bike use. I'm not sure who is
actually in charge, what process the design/layout needs to go through
(once
again, sounded like Dave was already looking for dirt an materials, so
might
be a situation where the cart is coming before the horse). I want to get
up
to speed with the players as well as the process this has been going
through
so I can best figure out how I can be involved and give this the best
opportunity to be successful. I am not at all familiar with how the system
works, and have not worked with land managers on any level, so I'm sure as
I
get more involved, I will be pulling on the collective resources of
everyone
here.

Thanks,
Will

Will,

I am really familiar with that site (the old Washington High School) and

would think that it would make a perfect place for a bike park. Really

close-in, open space, and publicly owned. I took a bunch of pictures there

over the summer---it's near my house. Let me know how I can help!
