Sand Flats committee approves letter supporting Trailmix's Hoxglide proposal to BLM
Summary
Members reviewed TrailMix's Hoxglide proposal and approved sending a draft letter of support to the BLM after noting safety constraints on the route; staff will transmit the letter to the BLM.
The committee reviewed a draft letter to the Bureau of Land Management expressing support for Trailmix's Hoxglide proposal and voted to send the letter after confirming the trail group's approval at its March 10 meeting. Several members who had hiked the corridor described sharp corners and high-speed conflicts and endorsed the letter as a means to communicate local support while noting safety concerns.
A committee member said they had walked the route and observed points with limited sightlines: “You have oncoming traffic at high speeds coming around corners pretty quickly,” the presenter said, supporting the committee's position that improvements should prioritize user safety. The chair indicated she would forward the approved letter to the BLM the following day.
