The City’s Public Service Board has given (with fees of close to $1,000) El Paso mountain bikers a lease for a proposed parking lot on the access road to the water tanks at the main entrance to the Redd Rd. trails. This parking lot will hold approximately 25 cars and include one paved handicapped space. The BMBA has plans for signage in the area including a large map and information station to be placed behind the water tank. This project is going to cost several thousand dollars which the club can cover to a limited extent. If you are interested in providing manual labor, mechanized labor via lending of heavy equipment, or by donations of materials or money, please be present at our club meeting this Monday at 7pm, Sunset Pizza on Mesa. Mike Gaglio of High Desert Environmental will present the plan of what his company is going to do. Currently, the cost of this plan is $3,500 and does not include materials or delivery. We have a donor for screening material which will save us just over a thousand dollars.
