+Lookout Lisa Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) The Beacon Hill Advisory Committee is a local effort to formalize the Spokane Beacon Hill Trail Network for future enjoyment by the public for generations to come; I have been on the Beacon Hill Advisory Committee now for over a year representing my Spokane neighborhood (Minnehaha) and geocaching. We are in the process of gathering some usage data for our planning and the upcoming design charrette (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charrette) this October, and would like to ask interested folks to take a survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/beaconhill The Fat Tire Trail Riders Club is leading this effort in partnership with the City of Spokane, Spokane County, Avista, private landowners, developers, International Mountain Biking Association, bicycle advocates, the Mountaineers, the American Society of Landscape Architects, Wheelsport East, Wintersport, Inland Northwest Trails Coalition, Spokane County Regional Health District, Minnehaha Neighborhood Council, REI, and Mountain Gear. Technical Assistance is being provided by the National Park Service's Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program. The survey will close end of July. If you haven’t done so and are interested, please take the time (5 minutes or so) to fill it out online: http://www.surveymonkey.com/beaconhill. So far, there are 170 responses from many different users, and mountain biking does seem to be the main user activity so far. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions/concerns or would like to help out. Edited July 15, 2008 by Lookout Lisa Quote Link to comment
