What about bike tracks in the Upper Bee? Want to see dirt mountain bike trails

 Many kids in other areas in teams who ride for fun, need a place to ride  You can ride your whole life. So healthy and good for people of all ages  Want dirt trails mixed with gardens and other wooden areas  Kids will come out to learn about mountain biking  Use Metrolink to connect kids from other areas to come and ride  Interested in a good safe place to enjoy riding bikes  Mountain bike trail, BMX track, skills track  There needs to be a network of interconnected trails in the park  Interconnected trails can be used by ages of all visitors and can be for bikes and pedestrians  Bike paths that are interconnected is a must to have as the park continues to build out. We would like to see a BMX track that’s run by USA BMX  Tracks normally take up to 1 ½ ‐ 2 acres of space  It would be good for kids – our kids as young as 5 years can ride  BMX is an international organization and it would attract thousands of people  BMX would generate revenue – you could offer classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced riders  It’s a great outlet for children who don’t play traditional and ball sports  BMX brings the community together  Came with 30 BMX families  Ruben: Former BMX track operator o YMCA/BMX track is closed o Would like to see a pump track/bike park o We want our kids outside in a controlled and safe environment o Are the Great Park plans going to be finished next week?
