Alot of hard work has gone into those trails Holly. Its true that we had to weigh the interests of the environment and perhaps other non-biking types against the interest of our minority with city funding. But, I would counter by saying that in the end that land was abandoned, and lets face it worthless, until we came in there with our machinery to cut and level trails so that we could recreate in our free-time. Furthermore, we feel that this option is the healthiest in the long term. After all, that land has been abused for a long time by humans and it is not healthy, hence, not really worth the time to even think about any other option but pure fun. We've basically summarized this whole view point in the logo for our project. We have a leaf with tire prints on it, now FINALLY nature and everybody else can take a back seat for ONCE and let us have a little fun. I mean for real, this city is like a nature preserve as it is; this one area wont hurt. Now, if we could just get the remaining animals off of the land - to prevent any mishaps for our bikes - and perhaps disturb enough soil to allow invasive (easy to chop) species in there it'll be perfect.

Josh, you are absolutely retarded. You people do not get it at all. The trails are a catalyst for change in the County. I have performed dozens of environmental impact studies for various projects across the country. This is low impact to the environment and some cases a plus because it provides a corridor of travel for certain species that was not there before due to invasive species. The project is good because it will attract environmentally friendly companies to the area, like Google for example, and many others that demand this benefit for their employees. A greenway is basically a small road that cuts through natural habitat (in some cases). Regardless, you people can get on board or take a backseat because the momentum is there and the train will not stop. You do not do the work, you do not attend the meetings, you do not make the decisions so deal with it or get the hell out of town. I have no need for 0%ters. By the way, if you have transportation woes, ride the freaking bus. Enjoy your free time in one of the many parks accross the county. The ones located in the low income areas are trashed and the County is tired of cleaning up after you.
