PROJECT REPORT

Garland Memorial Stone, Greg will get with Mr. Bruce to move the stone.

Illegal tree cutting issue...Dinish Tawari (Dir.of Parks and Rec.) states
that it’s in the final stages of negotiations with the City’s
legal dept.
Will Jones with the Times Dispatch will be contacted to see what he can
find out. |

Mr. Bruce has been using the Mtn.. Bike donated by JROC this summer...

etc. |
| |
-
Poison Ivy! The backpack sprayer is still VERY available to help control
P.I. in the high traffic areas of the Park System. |
| |
-
North Shore Takeout parking Lot - Closed! A construction company appears
to have leased the gravel lot from Norfolk Southern to store their equipment
in. It was suggested that we try to raise a greater awareness of the need
for a public takeout in the most popular area for whitewater boaters.
Stephen Ensign will contact Risa at Am. Whitewater, Adrian Tate will contact
the ACA. There will also be an effort to get the T.D., Style or whoever
will listen, to write articles about this plight. Ralph (Wolfgang) Hambrick
will follow up with his contacts on this issue.
A committee was formed to follow up on this most important issue (Motion
by Buzz, 2nd by Stephen E.). Members include Ralph H., Adrian T. Stephen
E., Brian M., Greg V., Ralph W. and Steve Ellison (he doesn’t know
it though). |

-
Steps from 2nd St. Bridge to Belle Isle Parking lot. Ralph W. says the
City has decided to finally get involved and do this project...Great to
hear, What took them sooooo long???? |
| |
-
Trails in bad shape from wet weather and bikers - Continued educational
campaign to try to keep riders off the trail when wet. There is also the
potential for building boardwalks through the most sensitive areas. To
this end, a motion was made by Susanne Smith, 2nded by Sally Wetzler and
passed by the members present to give UP TO $400.00 to purchase supplies
for boardwalk construction. Ralph has a mysterious army of volunteers
who want (?) to do this. Roger Sattler also related that IMBA is probably
sending a trail building delegation to town in Oct. to help with this
issue. There has also been a showing of bikers from the Petersburg area
who have constructed at least one bridge (under the Boulevard bridge).
Kudos to the “Out of Towners” for helping in our plight. |
