I emailed Tom LeBonge's office and heard back from someone today. She said:
"The parks department is not without their reasons for keeping the park closed, but as of right now we think there is not sufficient justification for the closures. The fire recovery team has not yet settled on what strategy they will use to prevent erosion this upcoming winter. One of the strategies being considered will require exclusive access to the burn area for the department. And RAP's thought process says that it is better to keep the park closed and for the recovery team to complete their work and then open the park, rather than opening the park now only to have to close areas of the park off and on for the next six months. But, the Councilman disagrees with this train of thought."
So we've got a three-way game of "thought process" chicken going on here between RAP, Tom LeBonge and the evil bikers and hikers.
Also, lonewacko.com has another tale of flagrant biking on pristine Mt. Hollywood Dr.
Check it out.
