San Andreas Trail Closure

Sent to Dave Holland, Director of Parks at the San Mateo County Department of Parks.

Excerpt:

We understand that closing the trail may be necessary for a significant maintenance project. However, please be aware that this trail is not solely for recreational use. Bicyclists also rely on trail facilities for commuting. For these cyclists, simply starting their trips at a different point or not riding for a month are not options. These cyclists are currently using a section of Highway 280 in lieu of the trail. Needless to say, this is a more dangerous proposition for them.
