View of Central Valley from Carnegie SVRA
In one of the most stunning actions that I have ever seen
taken by a land management agency, the East Bay Regional Park District Board
cast a “here is a poke in your eye” vote to continue their efforts to ban OHV
recreation on the Tesla property at Carnegie SVRA.
I attended the District board meeting yesterday where
they voted to approve the new Master Plan that includes a map of the Tesla
property identified as a future acquisition.
Even though District staff has said they really don’t want the Tesla
property for non-motorized use, they continue to stand – like children - in
front of the candy store lusting for the forbidden fruit.

The brazen vote cast by the District will most certainly
poison-the-well of any good will that may have existed in the OHV community in
efforts to work in a cooperative manner with the agency.
