Western Gateway Bike Park Update

Here’s an update from Service Chair Bob Kline on where the Western Gateway Bike Park project stands:

1 - Master Plan drafting taking place at Nevada City Engineering - Revisions to the map can be made once the final shapes of the park elements (Bike Park, Disc Golf an Dog Park) are mapped.

2 – County Environmental Department will begin the initial phase of the Biological Report, the final element needed in order to submit the master plan revision to County Planning Department.

3 - The website has begun to form – Site developers will work at fleshing out the content.

4 – The committee will create a trifold and a small leave behind informational card for use in current and future fund development activities.

5 – The Committee will meet at the site to discuss the layout of the park elements. Local skilled bike riders will be invited to join this meeting to furnish comments and design suggestions.

6 – The committee will continue to contact people they think may be interested in helping the project financially so that we can pay for the biological report and other current costs.

Items to consider in the near future:

1 - Look into options for getting water (possibly through a well) in order to support the eventual park elements - this discussion may include the dog park group as they also should be using well water.

2 - Work with Nevada City Engineering to include sufficient parking for the bike park in the design.
