You are correct, Yvonne--the 500K figure was not brought up by Evergreen. I misunderstood the origin of that figure which I agree is not credible. I attempted to correct my error a few hours after my original response but it was too late for edits. I regret the distraction from the key point which is that any significant increase in mountain bike activity--even if the realistic increase is only 50k mountain bikers annually--in a park as wet and fragile as Lord Hill Park would be harmful both environmentally and in terms of the character of the Lord Hill nature preserve that makes it the regional treasure that it is. Our hope is that Lord Hill Park will continue to be open to bikers, equestrians, hikers, bird watchers, joggers, families, and others who appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the Park and are committed to harmonious sharing of the Park in ways that will preserve it for future generations and protect its wildlife and wetlands.
