'Jlte l)epactrnent is responsible for the .:onservation, protection, and rnanagern 'Ht ofth State's biologi.:al n,sourc s, including ran,, threat ned, and endangen:<l plant and animal species, pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act, and administers the Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) program. TI1e City is participating in the Department's NCCP and the Service's IICP programs through the implementation of its I-IMP. Ctmently there are approximately 67 miles of trails in the City, and the Plan proposes 38 miles of new trails along 41 segments that cross City, private, and other public lands. TI1e new trails 15 CͲ2 cont. CͲ3 CͲ4 Mr. Don Neu (FWS/CDFW-SDG-1780236-17CPA0117) 2 ar--categorized into six types: nature, re -realional, wide dirt/utility roadbed, unpaved roadside, sidewalk connector, and paved multi-use. New trails are proposed through many portions of the HMP Preserve, which supports sensitive native habitats including coastal sage scmb, coast live oak woodland, southern maritime chaparral, grassland, iiparian woodland, and wetland. Although no focused biological surveys were conducted, the draft DMND states that the following sensitive plant and animal species have the potential to occur in areas where trail egmcnts are proposed: tl1e federally endangered and HMP-narrow endemics Del Mar manzanita (Arctostaphylos glandulosa ssp. glandulosa) and San Diego ambrosia (Ambrosia pwnila), federally threatened and state endangered thread-leaved br()diaea (Brodiaeafilfolia), federally and state endangered least Belrs vireo (Vireo bellii pusi/lus), federally threatened coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica), and Nuttall's scmb oak (Quercus dwnosa). rn addition, the prnposed trail segments were icleJ1lified as having no, low, or high constraints v,ilh respect to biological resources. ·111e DMND stale:,; that project-specific biological surveys induding focused rare plant and wildlife surveys will be required for som of the trail segments that have low con traints (e.g., 70, 9.A, 9C, 108) with respect to biological resources and all segments that have high constraints (i.e., SB, 7 A f west ofT-5], 7B, 7C, 7H, 88, 9D, 12D, and I 2E). 1l1e City also proposes lo mitigate any unavoidable impacts to sensitive natural communities consistent wi th the HMP. We oJTcr the following comments and recommendations to assist the City in avoiding, minimizing, and adequately mitigating project-related impacts to biological resources, and to ensure that the project is consistent with all applicable requirements of the HMP: 1. Although the Di\•l D evaluated the proposed Plan's consistency with the HMP, in particular Section F.2.B. Recreation and Public Access, we do not agree with the City's conclusion that the proposed Plan is consistent with the HMP, and that impacts to sensitive biological resources will be avoided, minimized and mitigated to less than significant by the incorporated mitigation measures. l11e ov rarching goal of the II!vlP is to ' contribute to regional biodiversity and the viability of rare, unique, or sensitive biological resources throughout the City of Carlsbad and the larger region ... " (p. A-1 ). 11ie llMP also states that conservation is the first prioiity for th preserve system. " (p. F-12). Important biological resources in the City include habitat areas associated with the three coastal lagoons, coast live oak W()Odland, southern maritime chaparral, coastal ,·age scrub, riparian cruh, and wetland. Significant populations of California gnatcatcher, federally and state endangered light-footed Ridgway's (:cclapper) rail [Rallus obsolelus (=longiroslris) levipes; Ridgway'. rail], slate endangered Belcling's savannah spanow (Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi), thread-leaved brodiaea, and Del Mar manzanita occur in the HMP Pre~.,rve. In addition, the IlMP Preserve includ"s mitigation area-; and lands used to fulfill NCCP/HCP conservation and mitigation obligations for projects prior to the establishment of the HMP Preserve. Consistent with the management recommendation li:-ted on p. F-12 of the HMP: 2) Develop a Recreation Plan or Review Existing Plans for Compliance, which 16 CͲ4 cont. CͲ5 CͲ6 CͲ7 CͲ8 CͲ9 L C [ Mr. Don Neu (FWS/CDFW-SDG-1780236-17CPA0117) 3 2. includes "monitoring existing recre,ational activities that are consistent wilh biological goals", we request to meet with the City to revise the Plan to include a recreation monitoring, management, enforcement, and restoration program to help ensure consistency with the HMI'. ·111e revi.sed Plan should also identify authorized trails as well as unauthorized trails to be closed and revegetated. A recreation monitoring, management, enforcement and restoration program would help ensure that: (1) habitat degradation will be minimized as part of trail use and maintenance, (2) negative impacts to stmounding sensitive resources will be minimized and/or mitigated, and (3) areas of high n:source C(mscrvation are identified such ihaL trail closures, during certain times of year, could be considered. The HMP anticipated some le vel of public us.: ofihe Preserve but noted that excessive or uncontrolled access can result in "habitat degradation through trampling and erosion (e.g. along trails) and disruption ofhreeding and other criti cal wildli fe functions at ce rtain limes of year" (p. F-11). ln addition, it is impor1ant for the City to recogni1,e that the basis for accepting [-IMP Preserve lands as mitigation for impacts to covered species includes the commitment to manage th.: lands so that hahitat conditions for wildlife are sustained or improved and are not degraded over time by human activities. 3. We are concerned that establishing trails throughout the majority of the HMP Preserve will fhrther degrade the core habitat areas (i.e., areas not subjected to either direct or indirect human-related impacts) identified in the HMP. While public access may not totally preclude wildlife use in areas with trails. studies indicate that it may hinder or alt.ir wildlifo behavior and temporal use of the Preserve. l11e Del Mar Mesa Enforcement !'rojed (SAND G 2015) suggests that daily v;ildlife use: is correlated with human use ,md fo und that once unauthorized trail use was cuttailed, a shift in the LL<:e of the Del Mar Preserve by wildlife from mostly at night, to morning and evening hours was observed. Another study documented a three times greater rate of nest abandonment, and half the nest success rate, for an endangered passeri.ne species in habitat having trails used by mountain bikes compared to non-biking sill::s (Davis et al 2010). Finally. a study (Patten er al. 2017) conducted in the County of Orange Central/Coasta.l NCCP/HCP Reserve u ·ing 10 years of camera trap data found that seven marm1ial species avoided areas of high human use regardl ss ol'Lhe typ • oflnrnJan activit y (e.g., hik er, mountain biker, equestrian, dog walker) and camera placement. l11e overall trend was ·harply negative: as human activity increases, mammal activity decreases. Observed human-induced die! shifts by mule deer and coyote hav"' important ramifications for predator-prny dynamics. For example, mule deer, a primary consumer, shified its use from near sunrise to after sunset, which brought it into closer temporal alignmc:nt with its chief predator (mountain lion), while the coyote, a secondary consumer, shifted its use from shortly befor' dawn to shortly b fo re midnight, which brought it into clo.· r temporal alignment with a chief source of prey (gray fox). A primary management goal for the HMP Pr scrv should be to maintain substantial areas insulat··d from human access and related sources of disturbances (e.g., hiking, biking). 1l1is is important to 17 CͲ9 cont. CͲ10 CͲ11 CͲ12 CͲ13 CͲ14 CͲ15 L [ C Mr. Don Neu (F\:VS/CDFW-SDG-1780236-17CPA0117) 4 ensur1:: protected lanJs support more secrctiv;, aspects oflarger wildlifo species' life history requirements, such as deer fawning areas, bobcat dens, etc. 4. Chapter 7 of the Plan 0L1tlines the trails maintenance and operation activities, and mentions the possible closure of problematic trails (p. 7-3); however, Table 7. l does not include a regular assessment of habitat conditions along trail segments. 1l1erefore, it is tmclear how the City will dete1mine if ctment and future trails are contributing to/causing natural resource degradation across the HMP Preserve. For example, non- native invasive species tend to flourish along trail edges anJ trail widths tend to expand over time, especially if trails are used during and soon after rain events. 5. T11e DMND does nM appear to distinguish bel\veen trails depided as existing on Figure 4 and unauthorized trails when calculating Plan impacts to biological resources. We recommend these l\,\/0 trail types be analyzed separately. ·n1e tem1 "existing trails" should only apply lo those segments thal were developed consi:steni wilh H fl' planning and d~velopment guidelines, analyz1::d in a previous CEQA document, and whose impacts to habitat wer avoided minimized, and/or mitigated. "Unautl1ori2cd trails" in native habitat are paths that have been used/established over time and whose impacts to habitat have not been analy,:ed under CEQ. and mitigated for in any way. 'fberefore, these unauthorized impacts to habitat are unaccounted for, especially in the HM P Preserve. Inclusion of these paths in the City's Plan as "existing" legitimizes them without analyzing or accounting for the original impacts. To the extent feasible, the Plan should i11clude discussion of the origin of the trails through the habitat types addressed by the HMP, and whet.her habitat loss resulting from these segments was analyzed and/or addressed in a C QA document or other planning document. Mitigation should be proposed for all unauthorized trails that are now included as part of the City's trails system. 6. According to the I-I!vIP (p. F-5), the Lake Calavera property is a mitigation bank for City public works projects. As City projects use the mitigation credits from this bank, an endowment amount will be deposited in a fund to provide for long-tem1 management, which would indud"' trail maintenance, habitat restoration, and enforcement. Pl1::as1:: provide an update (lll the current status of the endowment and bow much of the endowment can be used to enforce the current and proposed trails through this mitigation area. 7. Based on th., GIS trails layer the City provided to the Wildlife Agencies, there are multiple trails bisecting the .ake Calavera prop.,rty. In addition, the (HS layer differ~ significantly from the existing and proposed trails in the M. D for the Lake Calavera Trails Master Plan. We previousl y commented on the MND for the Lake Calavera Trails Master Plan in our S.,pternber I 0. 2009, lett r (Enclosur ), and the Plan appears to include two trail segments that our letter said should be eliminated to ensure compatibility with the HMP. 18 CͲ16 CͲ17 CͲ18 CͲ19 Mr. Don Neu (F\l•/S/CDFW-S DG-17B0236-17CPA0 117) 8. ccording I<) the HM P (p.

Please provide acreage amounts for the trails proposed on the Lake Calavera property and ensure that 266 acres are still present for conservation as prnposed by the HMP. Because this prnperty is intended as mitigation. the City must ensure that only authorized trails will be used by the public and all other trails will be restored to native habitats. Lake Calavera's long-tenn management is being implemented in accord ance ·with the Lake Calavera Trails Master Plan. and all authorized trails must confonn to and be consistent with this plan. The Lake Calavera Trails Master Plan should be referenced s(>mewhere in the Trails Master Plan. 5 9. TI1e Service and the State of California worked together to purchase the Buena Vista Creek Ecological Reserve with grants provided under Section 6 of the Act. Section 6 funding supports land acquisition for the recovery offoderally listed species such as the Califomia gnatcatcher and least Bell 's vireo, species present on the Buena Vista Creek property. ·nie City proposes Lo locate traib on or near this Ecological Reserve, more ·pecifically segments I C, 2A, and 2B. T11e DM D states that segment IC would be located within an existing uti lity casement or roadside right-of-way; however, it docs not say that permissions have been granted by t]1e utility holding the easement or by the Department who is the underl ying land owner. At present, Buena Vista Creek Ecological Reserv.: is cl()sed lo the public, and the D.:parlmenl does nol SLtppo11 the trail alignments currently proposed by the Plan within or adjacent to it. During a pre- Plan meeting, the Department asked the City to delete these segments from Figure 4 Existing and Proposed Trails. We again make this request. The Wildlife Agencies need to more closely examine the intent of the original grant acquisition and what level of recreation, if any, was anticipated for !his Ecological R.:serve. 10. TI1e City recently installed a sign at the Agua I-Iedionda Lagoon Kelly trail head that depicts "proposed/foture" trails. TI1ese same proposed trails are also identified in the Plan and the DMND. The Department is concerned that the City has plmmed trails and other uses across and near Ecological Reserves and other ownerships within the I-IMP Preserve. Our key concern is tl1 e possible perception by the public that these proposed future trails/uses-although depicted in concept fonn-are authorized and/or otherwise. acceptable io the landowner. In addition, the Department's logo is shown (>n the Kelly trail head sign, which may add to that perception. The Department is concerned that this 1 ads the public to believe these trails are inevitable, and may encourage the public to enter areas where trails are proposed, even though they are currently closed to the public. As the Department has not agreed to the proposed trail alignments, we request that the City refrain from including any proposed segments on Department-owned land on Figure 4 Exisling and Proposed Traih of the DM D and all figures shm ing trail segment.· in Chapter 4 o[the Plan, until agreements between the City and the Department can be reached regarding alignment, patrolling, cruorcem nt, management, and maintenance. We also request that the City refrain from using the Department's logo on City trails planning material unt il an agreernent--or multiple agrc ments fo r each trail segment or property--can be reached, and remove the sign with our logo l:i-mn the Agua He.dionda L1goon Ke.lly trail head. 19 CͲ20 CͲ21 CͲ22 CͲ23 CͲ24 CͲ25 CͲ26 [ [ [ [ Mr. Don Neu (F\l•/S/CDFW-S DG-17B0236-17CPA0 117) 11. Another area of the HMP Preserv.:: that the Department would like tu discuss is identified in the Plan as Subarea 6: Lake Calavera/Calavern Hills. Chapter 4 of the Plan states that Subarea 6 has the highest concentration of trails compared to any other subarea. Please clarify Lo the reader that many of these trails, especially those <m Carlsbad Higl1lauds Ecological Reserve, might not necessarily be "authorized trails' . Figure 4.7 of the Plan does not depict all ofthe '·finger-type trails" that have been created throughout Carlsbad Highlands due to unauthorized uses. TI1e Department acknowledges that unauthorized uses are prevalent on this Ecological Reserve and su1Tounding ownerships and we are currently working Lo resolve this issue. 1be Depmtment would like to work with the City and their cuJTent Preserve manager in an effo11 to resolve unauthorized uses in this Subarea. 12. Although the HMP Preserve is briefly mentioned in Section 3 no fonual m.,ntion/description of the !IMP was included in the Plan. We recommend that a description of Lhe H!v!P including its goab an<l objectives as well a~ the purpose of the HMP Preserve be added to Section I. 5 Local P Janning Efforts of the Plan. 6 13. Plea5.: .:nsure that the Plan is consistent with the Management Recommendations stated in the HMP on page I·-11 including "Existing recreational faciliti es should be managed lo promote the maintenance of habitat value surrounding these facilities". 14. We strongly r.,commend that all direct impacts to sensitive habitats be avoided and/or minimized. It is unclear how new proposed trails through habitat areas were avoided and/or minimized to the greatest ex'1ent foasible. For example, the proposed trail east of the existing North Shore Trail at Batiquilos Lagoon (e.g., 120) is identified as wetland in the City's habitat mapping. 15. Although the DMND proposes to mitigate unavoidable impacts in accordance with the HMP, it does not identify where the mitigation will occm. In addition, the Wildlife Agencies note that both direct and indirect impacts must be mitigated, and indirect impacts may be up to 300 feet or more on either side of the proposed tmils, depending on trail type, anticipakd usage 1.,vd, and the types ofwildlife/sp.,cies present. TI1erefore, as sp cific trail alignnwuts and trail types become defined, ihe Wildlife gencics will expect that mitigation will take into account indirect effects as appropriate. 16. "lhe DMND lists trail segment 5C as a «no" biological constraints segment since it will be located on an existing di11 road; however, there arc many historic occuJTences of California gnat catcher in the vicinity of th e proposed segm nt. We recommend ..:hanging the designation lo "low" and requiring biological surveys for this segment. We further recommend that the mo:t suitable gnatcatch r breeding habitat be avoided. ln addition, non-cover d HMP sp cies d signaled as 28. l hy California alive Plant Society (CNPS) (i.e., rare throughout their range with the majority of them endemic to California), such as California adolphia (Adolphia ccrlifornica) are known to ocuur in the HMP Pre. erve. We also recommend both direct and indirect impacts to these species be avoided. 20 CͲ27 CͲ28 CͲ29 CͲ30 CͲ31 CͲ32 CͲ33 CͲ34 [ [ [ C [ I Mr. Don Neu (FWS/CDFW-S DG-l 780236-17CPA0 117) 7 17. Segment 9E is identified in the OM NI) as a trail that has undergone or is eunentl y undergoing CEQA review. 111is 2. 5 mile trail is part of the Cantarini project, which was approved in 2004. We were notified by the City that this project may require ftuiher CEQA review (Grim 2016, pers. comm.). In light of the recent studies on recreation cited above, we request the City work with us to redesign this trail alignment by eliminating redundant trails. This would further minimize impacts to the HMP Preserve area that will be dedicated as mitigation for the Cantarini project impacts. 18. ·111e Plan should include a detailed discussion of how userS witl be diri:ctcd lo stay on authorized trails through fencing and signage and enforcement by peace officers with citation authority. The Plan should also include dedicated funding and staffing to ensure that fon ing, signage, and enforcement will be maintained across lhe lraj[ system in perpen1ity. 19. Under Title 14. Sectiou 630 (g), bicycles and horses are proliibited on the Department's Ecological Reserves. Please describe how the e prohibitions will be enforced when crnmecting/actjaccnl trails (under non-D.,partment ()\ nernhip) may encoru-age these uses (e.g., segment 2 ). Additionally, the Plan should address the need for Department staff or law enforcemenl to respond when these uses spill over lo Department land. 20. Areas identified as "open space' in the Plan should be further described as mitigation area, Ecological Reserve, HMP Preserve or any other applicable designation. ·n1cse areas should be depicted on a figure with the proposed trail system so the reader can see where direct impacts will occur. As these areas were specifically set aside for wildlife use, we again strongly recommend that direct impacts be avoided but if unavoidable impacts do occur, they should be mitigated at a higher ra1io than what is listed in the HMP. 21. 1l1e City should meet with all land owners, including the Department, where trails are proposed in order to seek approval and ensure the proposed Plan is compatible with the purposes of all affected properties. for example. although figure 4 oftbe DMND and Figures 4.3 and 4.7 of the Plan indicate that trails through Carlsbad Highlands and Buena Vista Cre..-,k Ecological Reserves are not part of the proposed trail system, it still shows trail alignments through these properties and indi cates City support for their completion. Instead, we recommend these alignments be removed from the Plan and Lhat they not be depicted on any figure:; until agreemen\5 can be reached between the Department and the City. 22. '11ie Plan includes Goals and Objectives (p. 2-2). We recommend that an additional goat focus on the ex.isling trails and their management, .:nforcernenl, maintenance, and monitoring. This should include Lhe closure of unauthorized !rails, preventing the cn::ation of umntthorized trails, enforcement rem d.ies for p ople creating and using unauthorized trails, monitoring erosion of trails, etc. 1l1e Plan does not actually cite a dollar amount that is crnTently dedicat.,d lo trail maintenance, monitoring, and enforcement. Region-wide, dedicated fonding is lacking frir such activities. 1l1e Wildlife Agencies are concerned that not enough funding is directed to these types of 21 CͲ34 cont. CͲ35 CͲ36 CͲ37 L [ [ Mr. Don Neu (FWS/CDFW-SDG-l 7B0236-l 7CP AO 11 7) activities and increasing the amount of trails will only exacerbate the inadequate funding dilemma. 8 23. If an agreement is reached with the Department regarding trails within or adjacent to our Ecological Reserves, we recommend only Type 1 nature trails be considered unless trails are pre-existing and authorized. Currently, proposed segment 12D is depicted as a Type 2 recreational trail. 24. Due to the 2014 Poinsettia fire, which burned 295 acres of the HMP Preserve (http://www.carlsbadca.gov/news/displaynews.asp?N ewsID= 1047 &TargetID== 1), we recommend that trails adjacent to or within the HMP Preserve be closed to the public on Red Flag Warning days to reduce the potential for human-ignited wildlife. In Orange County, land managers have established a community-based Fire Watch program run by volunteers (see https://www.irvinecornpany.com/irvine-ranch-conservancy-and- ocfa-announce-fue-watch/). Fire Watch provides a high level of visibility and deterrent during Santa Ana winds and Red Flag Warning days, and could help prevent or greatly reduce the damage caused by future fires in the HMP Preserve. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the DMND and look forward to working with the City to develop a Plan that is consistent with the HMP.

The proposed Trails Master Plan provides guidance for future trail development that will complement, and provide connections to, existing public access and recreational amenities in the coastal zone. To ensure that the proposed Trails Master Plan is consistent with the public access and recreation, habitat protection, and other coastal resource protection policies in the California Coastal Act and the City's certified Local Coastal Progran1 (LCP), Commission staff offers the following comments on the proposed Trails Master Plan. Rather than incorporate the entire Trails Master Plan into the City's LCP, Commission staff recommends that the City integrate key components of the Trails Master Plan through the City's ongoing comprehensive LCP update process. Therefore, the following comments also recommend key figures and concepts from the Trails Master Plan that should be included in the LCP comprehensive update. Trails Master Plan Public access is a key component of the California Coastal Act and the City's certified LCP, however discussion of the LCP is missing from the Trails Master Plan. Section 1.5 Local Planning Efforts (beginning on page 1-2) describes other City planning efforts related to trails and quotes key objectives and policies from those planning documents. The LCP and relevant policies should be included in this section. Section 3.7 Existing Private Property Ownership states that obtaining trail easements on small privately owned parcels is challenging and should be avoided (page 3-4). Within the coastal zone, however, where the LCP requires dedication of an easement for public access, the City and the Coastal Commission routinely obtain access easements for future trails as conditions of approval for private development. The Trails Master Plan should be updated to address this opportunity to expand trail development within the coastal zone. 32 DͲ4 DͲ5 DͲ6 DͲ7 DͲ8 DͲ9 DͲ10 [ [ [ [ May 5, 2017 Page 2 To demonstrate how existing and planned trails provide connections and access to coastal resources, coastal access poinls, including beach accessways and visla points, should also be added to Figure 3.5 Composite Map of Existing Trails (page 3-15) and Figure 5. l Composite of Existing and Planned Trails (page 5-5). 1l1e Trails Master Plan does not describe all the trails that are contemrlated in the LCP. ror example, Policy 7-6 of the Mello II Lari<l Use Plan calls for an access trail along the south shore of Buena Vista Lagoon and requires that pennits for development o.f lagoon fronting property include as a condition of approval offers to dedicate lateral accessways across those properti s for a futur trail. The Trails Master Plan should ad<lr ss all trails identified in the LCP. Implementation of any of the trail projects identified in the Trails Master Plan that are located within the City's coastal zone will require a. coastal development pennit and must be consistent ,vith applicable LCP policies. Section 6.3 Design Considerations of the Trails Master Plan should be updated to acknowledge that trail development within the coastal zone must be consistent with the requirements of the LCP. 1l1e Trails Master Plan acknowledges the potential conflict between conservation of sensitive habitats and provision of trails through these areas. TI1e discussion of sensitive habiiat and wildlife in Seciion 6.3 Design Consideration~ (page 6-15) should clarify that trail development within or adjacent to sensitive habitat areas should be evaluated for adverse impacts. and must be consistent with LCP policies protecting environmentally sensitive habitat areas_ The Trails Mast r Plan should also identify best manag ment practices to avoid, minimize. and/or mitigate adverse impacts to sensitive habitats and species associated with trail design, constrnction and operation. 'f11c Trails Ma~Ler Phm acknowledges that sea level rise will impact many oJthe existing and planned trails along the City's coast and lagoons (Section 6.3 Design Considerations on page 6-16). Adaptation planning for existing and future trails is critical for ensuring continu d public ace ss to coa,;;tal r sources rnqui.-e<l by the Coastal Act and City's LCP. Section 7.4 Trail Closures describes when and how trails may be closed pennanently, but should note that penmment. closure o[ a trail located with in the coastal zone wi 11 req uii-e a coastal development pennit to analyze alternatives to trail closure and evaluate the impacts any closure will have on coastal access. Comprehensive LCP Update The following port.ions ofthe proposed Trails Master Plan should be included in the City's comprehensive LCP update: Figure 1.2 Composite of Regional Trail Projects (page 1-11) from the Trails Master Plan should h" add <l to the LCP through the co111prehensive update process along with a description of the California Coastal Trail. TI1e LCP update should also describe a 33 DͲ10 cont. DͲ11 DͲ12 DͲ13 L [ May 5, 2017 Page 3 planning and implementation process to complete the California Coastal Trail and formally designate existing trails that are part of the route through Carlsbad. Figure 5.1 Composite of Existing and Plmmed Trails (page 5-5) from the Trails Master Plan showing all existing and planned trails should be added to the LCP through the City's comprehensive update process. This figure should also show existing and planned coastal accessways and public vista points. The updated LCP should include descriptions of existing and planned trail segments located within the coastal zone that are detailed in the Trails Master Plan. The LCP update should also include policies that will facilitate implementation of the planned future trail segments and address best management practices to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate adverse impacts to sensitive habitats and species associated with trail design, construction and operation. As noted in the Trails Master Plan, many of the City's existing and planned trails and coastal accessways will be threatened by future sea level rise. Continued public access to coastal resources is a critical component of the Coastal Act and the City's LCP. The comprehensive update should identify appropriate adaptation measures for trail and public accessway design and operation to ensure continued coastal access. cc: Don Neu, City of Carlsbad David de Cordova, City of Carlsbad Jennifer Jesser, City of Carlsbad Sincerely, Erin Prahler Coastal Program Analyst Deborah Lee, California Coastal Commission Gabriel Buhr, California Coastal Commission 34 LetterD–ErinPrahler,CoastalProgramAnalyst,CaliforniaCoastalCommission,May5,2017 DͲ1Thecommenterrecommendsthat,ratherthanincorporatetheentireTrailsMasterPlanintothe LocalCoastalProgram(LCP)atthistime,thecityintegratekeyportionsoftheplanintothe comprehensiveLCPupdateprocess,whichiscurrentlyunderway.Thecityconcurswiththe recommendedapproachtoaddressrelevantcomponentsofthetrailsplanintotheLCPupdate.

It is important to riote that SIX3&E's access roads are for the sole purposes of operating, maintaining and constructing the region's electric system and any other use is discouraged and not consistent with the intent of the facilities that have been installed to provide safe and reliable power to its customers. Additionally, iri general, if SDG&E uses land other than for utility purposes, it needs the Qllifornia Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) authorization. To determine whether any proposed trail use of fee owned land may require CPUC authorization, SDG&E requests GIS shape files of the City's existirig and proposed trail system so that an investigation can be made. Furthermore, where utility access roads are located as easements on private property, the underlying property owner must also be in agreement with the proposed trail use of their property.

Next month will mark the one year anniversary of CNCs submission of a citizen-drafted plan to make the long-promised Hub Park a reality. While there is much in this Master Plan we can applaud, the plan fails to seriously reflect the passionate support for creation of trails along the Agua Hedionda Lagoon by Carlsbad citizens -whether supporters or opponents of the Caruso Project. After spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars in an election on which these trails were a key focus, the city in the TMP misses an opportunity to heal the community while working together to create this park and lay the cornerstone for a trail system that truly links Carlsbad's neighborhoods-not to mention taking a giant step forward in making our trail system a functional and efficient element of our city's circulation plan. The TMP needs to prioritize the trail proposal for the South Shore ofthe Agua Hedionda Lagoon (SSAHL) (7C). It is dear from the lease arrangement held by the city that action on this development can begin at the city's discretion. As written, the TMP dilutes the role of this trail area in the community's entire circulation strategy to the point that it appears irrelevant instead of critical to achieving the benefits of mobility, recreational opportunities, and preservation of our open spaces. While citizens proposed a budget of $430,000 to create this centerpiece for our trail system, there is no cogent explanation here as to where the citizens' proposa Ii is shortsighted either in scope or oost estimate. As the proposal's pathways were reflective of the Caruso diagram -already run by state environmental officials -there should be no lack ofdarity as to state expectations, The opportunity to incorporate the Discovery Center's existing programs and indeed to expand them with improved access to the South Shore area is long overdue. There are characteristics of this project that would improve the efficiency of linked trails and improve management of pedestrian and wheeled interaction on the trails -an objective emphasized in this report in illustrations of the six trail types (Figure 3a,3b,3c,3d.). There are insufficient vehicle parking strategies at locations throughout the TMP, including SSAHL Further, there is an over reliance on roadside sidewalks for significant stretches for the SSAHL proposal --as well as locations throughout the community-a strategy that increa5es exposure to pollution instead of decreasing it. There are two categories where biological resources and their impacts on the proposed SSAHL park require additional specificity. First, the management of agricultural contamination. This is particularly important for the SSAHL with its proximity to the strawberry fields, as well as trails planned along SDG&E access roads. Secondly, the focus on the removal of invasive species is to be applauded, but as 39 FͲ5 cont. FͲ6 FͲ7 FͲ8 L [ we have learned in other locations, refinement ofstandards is needed. Again, there are two problems here: failure to provide transition resources for the wildlife that has adapted to the invasive species so thattheir role in the ecological community is not lost because of the removal of the invasive plants; and use of tox,ins to kill plants and then failure to remove the poisoned soil and vegetation. Further, the definition of scenic vistas (p.16) is inaccurate-as exemplified by the viewpoints along the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Yes, there are cherished views of the ocean, but there are equally significant views of the lagoon to the east. These vistas should not be overlooked. Finally, while the presence of a large number of Home Owner Association controlled parks is referenced (p. 11), the pressures on these parks, trails and neighborhoods to deal with increasing numbers of visitors, confusion about what is allowed or not allowed on this patchwork of public and private trails, and insufficient parking for access are not addressed. Damage to the natural resources in these areas- largely due to lack of supervision and a lack of standards for resource management -are significant issues in our community. These issues are represented in the SSAHL location but they are found throughout the city, and resolving the solutions at this site will benefit the entire Trail Pllan.

Our mission is to preserve, protect and enhance the natural resources of coastal north county. We support that mission through community education efforts like hikes as well as hands on projects like trail repairs, wildlife movement studies and native habitat restoration. Providing public trails that increase access to our priceless natural lands is the first step toward getting people engaged in their protection. To that end, we have a long history of supporting public trails and the associated need for on-going education programs, monitoring and enforcement. We commend the city for getting many things right with the Trails Master Plan. We tried un.successfully to get both Oceanside and Vista to include consideration of circulation system improvements as part of their trails planning. Carlsbad has made this a key consideration and the result is several new connections that really will help people make the choice to walk or bike instead of getting in their cars. Carlsbad has also clearly distinguished types of trails and provided additional protection for those in our natural lands where there are concerns <1bout protecting our native plants, wildlife, and wetlands. And Carlsbad has a long history of involving the community in trails maintenance, monitoring and enforcement which is further strengthened through provisions in the TMP. In our review of the TMP and associated MN□ there are still a number of issues to be resolved that will ensure the TMP meets the City's objectives while still fully protecting our natural resources and supporting broader efforts to reduce GHG. The following are several specific issues of concern with each of these documents. MND Air Quality Im pact of number of new trail hend~ with parking added The number of new trail heads with parking has been reduced from the previous draft. However, the TMP still includes many new trail heads that are designed in a way that could increase car travel by adding recreational trips to drive to a trail head. Adding parking encourages more auto trips. This is not consistent with General Plan (GP)policies related to changing the travel mode split in order to both reduce air quality impacts and as a key way 5020 Nighthawk Way-Oceanside, CA 92056 www.preservecalavera.Ofi: 44 GͲ2 cont. GͲ3 GͲ4 GͲ5 GͲ6 L to reduce greenhouse gasses(GHG). The goal is to use alternative transportation instead of driving-not to drive first and then use alternative transportation. The EIR for the GP found significant unmitigated adverse impacts for Air Quality and Traffic so any incentive to increase auto use will add to these cumulative adverse impacts. The MND has not adequately considered these potential cumulative impacts. Impacts of trails adjacent to freeways Studies have now documented the adverse health impacts, particularly on children and the elderly, of the pollutants from car exhaust. This is of particular concern adjacent to freeways. In recognition of these impacts many places restrict school playgrounds adjacent to freeways. The city of LA also restricts parks from within 500ft. of a freeway. Trail segment 7F is immediately adjacent to 1-5. We understand this trail segment was part of the 1-5 widening Caltrans project- but that. doesn't mean it makes sense, or has been adequately evaluated. Biological Resources BIO-7 Non-native Invasive Inspection and Removal The way this is written does not fully support the use of the least toxic method-which is to use no chemical methods of control. Often hand weeding is the best method along linear elements like a trail. Other non-chemical means that should routinely be considered include things like mowing before seeds are set. The city of Irvine has been a leader in reducing the use of chemicals and moving toward becoming a toxic-free city. This language should be clarified so it does not sound like only the least toxic chemical will be used, but the first priority is to not use chemicals at all. -BIO 8 d Wildlife Movement Corridors In 2015, the city completed a study of wildlife movement corridors and pinch points documented in City of Carlsbad Wildlife Movement Analysis Final Report. The MND states that the trails "are not anticipated to impede wildlife movement as they are paved and unpaved paths with minimal or no surface structures" and that "wildlife would be expected to move unobstructed through and around trails that might intersect wildlife movement." However, the referenced study, previous wildlife movement studies in Carlsbad, and the biological analyses of the impacts of trails from the MHCP all document numerous potential impacts of trails on wildlife movement. The MHCP has guidelines for limiting impacts. For example, that pinch points in a wildlife movement corridor should not be more than 400' long and should maintain a minimum width of 500'. The TMP proposes several trails within what is an already constrained wildlife corridor pinch point (See 9 F for example). Numerous studies have documented the impacts dogs on trails have on wildlife. For example, the mule deer disturbance is documented as 100m on each side of a trail. (See references below) .. Trails near pinch points are especially problematic in this regard. Even coyotes and bobcats are effected. Dogs tend to mark when out on a trail and that is a signal to every critter that a predator is present. Multiply that use over time and cumulative impacts are significant. 2 45 GͲ6 cont. GͲ7 GͲ8 GͲ9 GͲ10 GͲ11 GͲ12 L [ [ [ [ We actually have witnessed those effects at the Lake Calavera Preserve over the past 15 years. We see potential conflicts with wildlife corridor pinch points and new trail segments at Veterans Park 8D, Sunny Creek 9A, Carlsbad Raceway 9F and 10D The section of Tamarack east of El Camino Real is already a known wildlife roadkill problem area. Adding the trail head connection would create an opening in the existing chain link fence on the north side of Tamarack which is a good thing. However, design offence and the location of the opening needs to be done in a way that improves wildlife movement while also allowing improved public access. While there are several areas where the proposed trail design could adversely impact wildlife movement, better mitigation could likely minimize/eliminate most ofthese impacts. A critical one that has not been caHed out in the mitigation measures is increased monitoring and enforcement. The MND needs further evaluation of the impacts of wildlife movement, and should include appropriate reference documents like the pinch point study and the sources mentioned below. We believe that with further analysis and better mitigation that most of the proposed trail segments could be done in a way that does not cause impacts to wildlife movement. BIO 8e Conflict with local policies The MND references HMP F.2. B. which makes it clear that the first priority is "protection of plant and wildlife species" and establishes guidelines for any new recreational expansion into preserved lands. It includes several provisions specific to mountain bike use and conditions for any public access that include to seasonally restrict access to certain trails if deemed necessary to prevent disturbance of breeding activities, close unnecessary trails, and establish patrols to identify trail maintenance needs, garbage, vandalism and habitat degradation. While this language sounds good, and has been in place since the HMP was adopted in 2004, it in fact has not been followed to a level that assures protection of the biological resources. In fact, we are not aware of any instance where trails where closed to protect the biological resources, in spite of numerous reports of conflicts like illegal trail building. Also we see no restriction on users (like mountain bikers) on any of the trails-particularly Type 1 Nature Trails which can be as narrow as 4'. Please clarify if it is intended that 100% of the trails are for multi-use-including bicycles and if so provide further analysis that shows all of the trails meet the HMP criteria for new mountain bike trails. If there are trails that will be restricted then this needs to be specified with appropriate monitoring and enforcement. Land Use Conflicts with General Plan policies Table 5 lists several policies of the General Plan to demonstrate consistency. But it fails to note two specific items where the TMP is not consis.tent-General Plan 3-P.21 which specifies trail connections from the eastern termini of both Marron Rd and Cannon Rd to the east. These two 3 46 GͲ12 cont. GͲ13 GͲ14 GͲ15 GͲ16 [ connections are called out on notes on Figure 4 Existing and Proposed Trails. But the MND has failed to identify this inconsistency and evaluate the impacts. Both of these connections were identified as important circulation element connections to help mitigate for the impacts of removing the road connections at these two locations. This trail connection wa,s assumed as part of the Air Quality and GHG impacts of the GP. Failure to implement these alternative transportation links will contribute to the cumulative impacts and this impact has not been evaluated. Furthermore, the link through the Buena Vista Creek Valley was ,included as part of a settlement agreement condition the city of Carlsbad signed over the Quarry Creek project. Failure to comply with this legal obligation is a further conflict that should have been called out in the MND. We included this trail link in the settlement agreement because of the significant impacts of ignoring the damage that unplanned public use is causing in this valley. Simply saying there is not a trail does nothing to address these impacts. Conditions have alrea,dy gotten worse in the last few months-and only a few of the 636 housing units planned for the valley are constructed. When all are completed it will become impossible to protect the adjacent Buena Vista Creek Ecological Reserve from hundreds of nearby residents and dogs- with no increase in patrols or enforcement. We fully understand the complications with achieving this and the reluctance of the DFW to allow this trail connection. We are committed to continue to support the city's efforts to achieve these trail connections. However, the CEO.A process does not allow the city to ignore these conflicts in their MND. Greenhouse Gasses The City's Climate Action Plan(CAP) is mitigation for the cumulat:ive impacts of GHG from the GP. The CAP states that implementation of the policies in the GP assure that the GHG reduction target for 2020 is met. Consequently, failure to implement those policies will result in GHG that exceed the threshold and will result in significant adverse impacts. There are two trail segments that were not included in the environmental analysis for the TMP but are shown with dotted lines and a notation that " .... the city supports completing the trail in accordance with the Carlsbad General Plan Mobility Element." These two trail segments are specifically called out in GP policy P-3.21 because both provide needed alternative transportation links where road connections included in the prior GP were eliminated in the new one. These two trail segments provide links where the roadway is already highly congested and where the new GP allows traffic conditions to fail rather than adding more traffic lanes ( El Camino Real and College Blvd. Failure to include these two trail links in the MN □ violates conditions in the CAP, and the associated EIR for the GP. It results in a significant unmitigated impact. Furthermore, the statement that the city supports these two trail segments implies there is an intent to move forward with them in the future. If so, then not including them in this MND is piecemealing the analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the entire TMP. Trails Master Plan Chapter l Introduction 4 47 GͲ17 GͲ18 GͲ19 GͲ20 GͲ21 GͲ22 GͲ23 GͲ24 L [ C [ -The Pedestrian Master Plan from 2008 had not included Sage Creek High School. This plan needs to at least have the Safe Routes to School elements updated to add the new high school. This school generates a huge number of trips and being able to move more of these to alternative transportation will be increasingly important as there are more students of driving age attending the school. Safe crossing of the roads at the intersections of College and Cannon should be addressed now, and again later as part of the design for the extension of College. General Plan policy 3. P.27 is to implement Safe Routes to School-. The first step is to include the new high school in the pedestrian plan. -Figure 1.2 Composite of Regional Trail Projects is not consistent with other figures showing the regional bike connections (see Figure 3.4). -This shows the North Coast Bike Trail jogging back and forth from Coast Highway to the freeway, providing duplicate bike connections to the City's coastal rail trail. It is hard to imagine that having two very expensive parallel routes is a good investment of taxpayer dollars, and would result in any real enhancement of bicyde route connectivity. Consideration should be given to consolidating this to a single route-and 7G makes a lot more sense than 7F. Chapter 2 Planning Efforts -Page 2-5 says the appendices document all of the public comments received but no such appendix was included and it is not noted on the Table of Contents. Chapter 4 Trail Network -There needs to be a c:ormection added for pedestrians from the west end of 18 to Jefferson St and the trails at Hosp Grove. There is no pedestrian access along that section of Jefferson. -Proposed segments 18 and lC are key segments in what we hope will become not just the Waterfall to the Waves Trail-but will provide regional, connectivity from east of Brengle Terrace Park through Vista and Oceanside up to the El Saito Falls, and from there through Carlsbad to the coastal rail trails. It would help energize support and resources to identify this as a major regional connection similar to what has been done with the Coastal Rail Tra il. -Figure 4.2 has in error labeled the lagoon as the Vista Creek Ecological Reserve. Subarea 2 has an existing cul-de sac with angle in parking on Haymar near the entrance to the existing sewer access road which is becoming IC, Since Haymar will not go through this is likely to become trail parking, A new trail head with parking is proposed at El Saito Falls St, a few hundred feet from this existing parking area. It seems like the existing cul-de-sac should be integrated into the planning for this location. -The map of Subarea 2 land others) fail to show many of the trails within the development foot print for the Quarry Creek project that were part of the adopted EIR. Those trails provide the public view of the sacred El Saito Falls and connection to the trail shown as a row of dots through BVCER. It also fails to show trail heads with parking that were approved on each end of the dotted line trail. If the trail segment is shown then the planned trail heads should also be 5 48 GͲ24 cont. GͲ25 GͲ26 GͲ27 GͲ28 GͲ29 shown. We understand the concerns by the Wildlife agencies about the trails through the BVCER. However, ignoring the impacts of public use of this area is not protecting the resources. The roads to the development and housing are under construction. Link 2B connecting Simsbury CT is scheduled for 2017. Our settlement agreement requires the two trail heads to be built. The land manager is already experiencing increasing, problematic public use of the BVCER. Ignoring this will just make it worse-and result in more damage to the cultural, historic and natural resources of this valley. -To our knowledge, Agua Hedionda Lagoon is the only area in the community where local residents spent a great deal of time and effort proposing a very detailed plan for trails. This area was the focus of a lot of community concern with the proposed Caruso development. The community's plan for trails provided much better connectivity to the AHL Discovery Center and overall greater recreational opportunity than what is proposed in the TMP. Hub Park and the trails proposed in the future park and along the lagoon could provide unique opportunities for recreation that incorporates the lagoon and historic use of this site, as well as the educational opportunities from connection to the Discovery Center. The TMP should provide a more thorough justification for what is proposed and why this is preferred over the community's vision for trails in this area. Chapter 5 Trail Development 1B and 1C Haymar -see comments on Chapter 4 about Waterfall to Waves 2A and 2B Hidden Canyon Park and Quarry Creek. Both of these segments are adding public use into the BV Valley-with no plan for how to really address the increased conflicts this will cause. Until there really is a plan to address this we are concerned about adding these two trail segments. Their timing needs to be contingent upon having an approved plan between the key stakeholders-one that includes adequate resour,ces to monitor and enforce the issues that will result from further increases in public use. SB Village H South --This should be divided into two segments, The first is the existing public use trail from Victoria west that has a loop at the western end. Per settlement agreement over the Quarry Creek project the transfer of this land to the city is expected to occur within the next few months. The agreement specifies that opening of the historic trail to public use is to occur "promptly" after the land transfer. The schedule says this trail segment will not be done until 2025, -not "prompt" even by government standards. This section really requires minimal change,; and signage to open and should be ,;cheduled to occur "promptly". The full connection to Tamarack on the western end traverses a steep slope and will be more complicated and costly. Planning for this extension also needs to consider wildlife movement through this area. 7A, 7F and 7 G -Three expensive parallel routes with scheduled dates of 2025, 2020 and 2020 respectively, each with price tags in the millions does not seem like the best use of public resources. Given that the Village/Barrio is the only existing Smart Growth site in the city and will include extensive efforts to increase the use of alternative transportation why not focus on 7A and 7G, move those to 2020 and reallocate the funds from 7F where they would provide greater public benefit-such as to the 7C trails in Hub Park and along the lagoon. (.i 49 GͲ30 GͲ31 GͲ32 GͲ33 GͲ34 GͲ35 GͲ36 GͲ37 [ [ [ C L [ 7C South Shore AH Lagoon --This trail should be phased, with some immediate public benefit on the Hub Park site. The text notes that the section along the commercial property will be a condition of its development-the timing of that section should note that. 7D and 7E Park Dr. and Hallmark --north shore of AH Lagoon. The shorter, less expensive segment 7E is delayed until 2025 while the longer more expensive one is scheduled for 2018. 7E provides a real benefit-people can already walk along Park Dr. so that is just enhancing an existing connection. It seems like 7E should be done first. 8A and 8B-Coastal Corridor Cannon Rd to PAR. These again are two very expensive parallel segments. It appears that 8A will really benefit the increased development proposed in that area. If it can be demonstrated that these two parallel routes will result in a mode shift toward alternative transportation then they may both be justified. But new development needs to be conditioned to pay its fair share of these costs. 9E -Cantarini Open Space Trails -We understand this maze of trails was included in the 2002 EIR for this project. But it is our understanding that after several delays it is expected this project will be modified prior to any actual construction. Since the dotted line trail that runs parallel to this through the Calavera Highlands Reserve is still problematic this may end up being the primary connection from the utility road 90 to the future College extension. It would make sense to reconsider this alignment to provide a more direct connection that might eliminate the need for the connection the WLAs do not want. -9F Carlsbad Raceway Park-In 2002 when the Raceway EIR wa'> approved the wildlife undercrossings at Lionshead and Melrose had not been finalized and the wildlife corridor pinch point study had not been done. We now know more about wildlife movement in this area. The map notes the connections to Vista and San Marcos trails, but fails to note it is also a key link in the regional wildlife movement corridor -and it is already highly constrained. Any nature trail through this corridor needs to be preceded by thorough study of impacts on wildlife movement and appropriate levels of monitoring and enforcement. There is a real possibility that fencing will be needed on both sides of Melrose by the tunnel in order to direct wildlife to the tunnel and avoid crossing on the road. If the new trail segment is added it might become a dead end. Designing an opening to accommodate the trail, while also preventing wildlife access to the road is problematic. Or the trail could be directed to the wildlife tunnel-another reason to coordinate the trail plan with wildlife movement. The endowment for existing hard line reserves like this has already been determined so providing increased funding to monitor this trail likely will not come from development. -9G and 12A -Cost must be for entire road-not just the trail. Shouldn't this just include the trails portion of the costs? -lOA and 108 -Two more expensive parallel routes. The analyses for these needs to evaluate whether the benefits offunding these two expensive parallel routes offset the costs, and if there are alternative ways to enhance the beach connection-with other funding partners. 7 50 GͲ38 GͲ39 GͲ40 GͲ41 GͲ42 GͲ43 GͲ44 L L [ [ -10 D-SDG & E Utility Road -Please consider options to extend this segment to the community park which would enhance CATS. -The text for Table. 5-2 says it is organized by year, but it isn't. It would be helpful to actually see a tabile that summarizes improvements and costs by year. Chapter 6 Trail Standards -The HMP provides some specific guidelines regarding new trails for mountain bikes. We did not find any discussion that verifies that all of these conditions have been met for every trail. The description for Type 1 nature trails implies they might not allow bicycles but this is not explicit. If that is the intent then it needs to be very clear. There would need to be specific provisions in signage and enforcement that will support this. -Fencing design needs to assure compatibility for wildlife. The Appendix details for wood rail and three strand wire should consider minimum height above ground for bottom rail/wire. And notation that plastic mesh that often is used around straw wattle needs to be removed so it does not become a problem for herps. -Bridge/tunnel design has not adequately considered wildlife movement. These structures can really enhance wildlife movement since trail use occurs primarily during daylight hours and wildlife movement often occurs at night. Some of the items specified would be a deterrent to wildlife movement-like lighting in tunnels. Some things to consider: drainage, access at tunnel ends (needs to not have steps that are barriers to little critters) preference for good natural lighting during day, and restrictions on night lighting if in a natural area, consideration of openness ratio (height x width/length) etc. -Provisions for public art were added to this dr.ift of the TM P (thank you) but it is unclear how this can be accommodated and still comply with the very rigorous design guidelines for signs and other amenities. Part of creating a sense of place is having a uniform theme for a particular area. We could see special signage and amenity design along the lagoons and through the BV Valley particularly. Perhaps a statement indicating that modifications to design standards can be considered as part of a plan to enhance the public amenities would provide the needed flexibility to consider this on a case by case basis. Chapter 7 Trail Operations -Given the experience of implementing the Lake Calavera Master Trail Plan over the last few years we think it is important to add a more robust discussion of efforts to block off and eliminate numerous other existing unauthorized trails through natural areas while new ones are being added. This is an ongoing concern at the Lake Calavera Preserve-even where there is regular ranger and volunteer pa,trols. This continues to be a major concern at the adjacent Calavera Highlands Ecological Reserve where we have documented the building of illegal trails over several years. 51 GͲ45 GͲ46 GͲ47 GͲ48 [ [ L -Dogs are only allowed on-leash on city trails. We support this policy and recognize that enforcing this will be a challenge with several proposed trails where the public is used to allowing dogs off leash, This behavior has been corrected in other reserves-but it took a lot of time and effort to do so. These challenges also need to be planned for. -7.4 section on Trail Closures does not include discussion of closures to protect the natural resources. Some of this is identified in the HMP (like nesting birds) or need to rest a trail getting heavy bike use. Please add the need for potential trail closures to protect the natural resources-with emphasis that trails in natural areas are a privilege not a right and that compliance with trail rulles is critical. -Add statements about skateboarding and drones and what effort will be taken to enforce restrictions on these activities. Chapter B Funding -There is also the potential for local NG Os (like us) to support trails-and don't forget the language PBS always uses-"and from viewers like you ". Trails outside Sedona AZ now have signs with an App so users can make donations to support trail maintenance from their cell phone. Trail users form the core of the city's trail volunteer program and may also provide community fundraising support.

TAYLOR1 AND RICHARD L. KNIGHT2 1Department of Fishery and Wildlife Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 USA Outdoor recreation has the potential to disturb wildlife, resulting in energetic costs, impacts to animals' behavior and fitness, and avoidance of otherwise suitable habitat. Mule deer exhibited a 70% probability of flushing from on-trail rcreationists within 100 m from trails. Mule deer showed a 96% probability of flushing within 100 m of recreationists located off trails; their probability offlushing did not drop to 70% until perpendicular distance reached 390 m. 9 52 BLM Appendix E Background and Reference Material on Dog-Related Considerations Adapted/Modified From Golden Gate National Recreation Area Draft Dog Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (2013) Studies have shown that people with dogs disturb wildlife more than people alone (Ya Iden and Ya Iden 1990, 248-249) and that dogs may pose a di'fferent kind of threat compared to a pedestrian (Miller et al. 2001, 130). Studies have also suggested that dogs, particularly while off leash, increase the radius of human recreational influence or disturbance beyond what it would be in the absence of dogs (Banks and Bryant 2007, 2; Sime 1999, 8.4; Miller et al. 2001, 125; Lafferty 2001b, 318). Animals most often affected by disturbance from dogs include deer, small mammals, and birds (Denny 1974), although larger mammals such as bobcats and coyotes can also be affected by disturbance (George and Crooks 2006, 14-15). Recreational trails with abundant dog scent could appear to carnivores to be linear dog territories, necessitating increased vigilance and activity (Lenth et al. 2008, 219). In a study conducted by George and Crooks (2006, 14-15), coyotes specifically showed a trend of temporal displacement in response to dogs, and bobcats were also affected by the presence of dogs. In conclusion, dogs behave as carnivores (Lenth et al. 2008, 218) and could affect wildlife such as small mammals through chasing and occasionally capturing individuals as well as digging and collapsing burrows. Dogs have the potential to encounter larger mammals such as deer, bobcats, or coyotes and may either displace these larger mammals from high quality habitat that is degraded by the presence of dogs (George and Crooks 2006, 14-15) or cause increased vigilance or activity (Lenth et al. 2008, 219). 10 53 LetterG–DianeNygaard,President,PreserveCalavera,May5,2017 GͲ1Thisisanintroductiontotheletter;responsestospecificconcernsarebelow.

Following are our initial review comments which include references to page and figure numbers within the Draft Trails Master Plan . We hope the comments are helpful. P3-ll -Fig 3.3: a. The South Carlsbad State Campground roadway and developed campsites buildings are inaccurately classified as "preservation of natural resources". The area is a developed visitor accommodation land use built on a coastal bluff next to the beach. P3-13 -Fig 3.4: a. A 'proposed class I bike path is mapped between La Costa Avenue and Avenida Encinas in error on/though existing San Pacifico homes. P3-15-Fig 3.5: a. Missing planned and City/Coastal Commission required 'proposed Type 2 bluff top and loop trail' along North shore of Batiquitos Lagoon between Carlsbad Boulevard and the NCTD ROW per the City and Coastal Commission adopted Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and LCP !see Exhibit 11 on page 27 of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and LCP]. b. There is no 'existing sidewalk connection type 5' along: a. both sides of Carlsbad Boulevard from i. La Costa Avenue north to the Cape May Hotel ii. North of Island Way to Cannon Road. b. West side of Carlsbad Boulevard from i. La Costa Avenue north to Cannon Road p.4-23 -Fig 4.11: a.

Missing planned and City/Coastal Commission required 'proposed Type 2 bluff top and loop trail' along North shore of Batiquitos Lagoon between Carlsbad Boulevard and the NCTD ROW per the City and Coastal Commission adopted Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and LCP [see Exhibit 11 on page 27 of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and LCP]. b. There is no 'existing sidewalk connection type 5' along: a. both sides of Carlsbad Boulevard from i. La Costa Avenue nonh to the Cape May Hotel ii. North of Island Way to Cannon Road. b. West side of Carlsbad Boulevard from i. La Costa Avenue north to Cannon Road c. It is believed that 12.1 is currently San Pacifico Master Homeowners Association's private HOA trail per the City and Coasta l Commission development approvals and adopted Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and LCP [see Exhibit 11 on page 27 of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and LCP]. Can it be documented if a public trail easement exists, or is proposed to be acquired on 12.17 A public trall cou ld be desirable if a complete public trail connection can be made to the Coaster St.ation. Such a trail would provide safe and direct pedestrian and bike access to the Poinsettia Coaster station and enhance active transportation and VMT reduction. d. There are two [2) "12A trails" shown that are in different locations and colors. This seems to be an error. e. One of the proposed 12A trails is supposed to cross under Carlsbad Boulevard providing a connection with the pedestrian facilities on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard and beach access. This pedestrian underpass is in the City's Adopted Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan as referenced in the City's General Plan . This City adopted and planned trail connection under Carlsbad Boulevard should be shown. f. Avenida Encinas and Poinsettia Lane provide the only pedestrian and bike, and vehicle access over the NCTO ROW to the beach• a major destination. As such pedestrian, bike and vehicular traffic from existing and future Citizens and visitors west of Interstate 5 and the larger population East of Interstate 5 is concentrated into these two [2] narrow corridors. Already due to the volume of pedestrian movements Citizens that live in San Pacifico regularly have to walk in the street and bike lane to access the beach due to the limited capacity of pedestrian facilities. The bike lane appears to be a minimum width, even though bike lane is [a regional rail trail bike 'path') and main bike path to the beach. The concentration of vehicle traffic has encouraged drivers to speed on the streets making adjacent bike and pedestrian less sale. Many San Pacifico Citizens [and other beach visitors) take surfboards, beach chairs and wagons and baby strollers that require even wider than normal pedestrian facilities. Ttie need to provide for pedestrians and bike carrying surf boards and other beach equipn1 erit, and to accommodate baby strollers to allow mothers and small children safe access to the beach is impo11ant 1n all pedestrian areas near the beach. This is particularly of critical importance in South Carlsbad where pedestrian, bike and vehicular traffic is concentrated in just a few areas [Avenida Encinas and Poinsettia Lane) over the NCTD ROW. These limited crossings to the beach should have 'special standards' that reflect the special function and accommodation they need to provide. To a degree a similar special considerations should be given to the limited and concentrated pedestrian, bike and vehicle crossings of Interstate 5 in Carlsbad. ~~-------~ .-..... ::.......--~ _--- 64 HͲ12 [ WALTERS management As Citizens we hope you incorporate our comments and suggestions. Please let us know if you need to communicate with members of our community to gain a deeper understanding of the concerns, issues and functioning of pedestrian, bike and vehicular movements and facilities in our community.

The project is also beyond the boundaries of the territory that the LTibe considers its Traditional Use Area (TUA). lt is, however, situated in close proximity to th.e Reservation and information generated would likely be useful iu better understanding regional culture and history. Therefore, we request as a courtesy to be kepi in ·the infonnalion loop as the project progresses and would appreciate being maintaiJ1ed on the receiving I isl for project updates, repor1s of iovestigations, and/or any documentation that might be generated regardi11g previously reported or newly discovered sites. Further, if the project boundaries are modifi.ed to ex:tend beyond the curTCntly proposed Limits, we do request updated infonnation and the opportunity to respond to your changes.

Based on the information contained in the initial study for the project, we have the following comments: L. As the details of any trail segments cannot be evaluated until project-level documentation is available, we reserve conesponding comments until that time. 2. The nature of this project is such that there is a greater than typical opportunity to avoid impacts to cultural resources. That, of course, is the prefcn-ed situation. This can be evaluated at the project level and may be accomplished by rerouting trails, relocating facilities, capping of sites, and other alternatives which may become apparent at the. time the project is studied. 3. Mitigation measures CUL-I through CUL-4 are generally acceptable. However, in the absence of disclosure of the details of how encountered cultural resources are defined and to be handled, we are unable to ascertain whether the impacts to scientific cultural resources will be mitigated to the level of insignificance. Therefore, as mentioned above, we will reserve sp~ific comment until the project-level environmental public review takes place. Thank you for this opportunity to comment.

The Tribe has discussed this Plan and all potential negative impacts il may cause LO our tribal cultural resources with the City pursuant to AB 52 consultation. In addition, the Tribe has received and reviewed the City's Notice of fntent to Adopt a MND for this Project and all of its supporting documentation as it pertains specifically to tbe protection and pre ervation of Luiseiio tribal cultural resources that may be located within the areas that will be subject to ground disturbing activities in the Plan. After our review of the MND, the Tribe is satisfied and concurs with the proposed Cultural Resource Mitigution Measures contained within the MND, with the explicit understanding with the City that when individual trails m·e being developed ancl/or may come to fruition, additional consultation with SLR will be forthcoming in the early stages of development and additional mitigation measmes, that may be necessary and culturally appropriate to lessen potential negative effects, will need to be adopted by the City. As always, the TLibe looks forward to working with the City to guarantee that the requirements of the CEQA are rigorously appl.ied to this Plan and all projects. We thank you for your continuing assistance in protecting our invaluable Luiseno tribal cultural resources.

I was impressed by the amount of detail and thought put into its preparation. It has put a lot of good information into one source for future reference. I only have a few comments. When evaluating iraiL segments the plan should also look at ownership patterns. II appears to assume that all properly owners will be cooperative in the future consh'uction of the trail segments addressed in this study. In some instances this may be problematic. For e:xample Segment 76 Hallmark Trail East on the north side of Agua Hedionda Lagoon wetlands. This trail will have to cross property owned by several ind.ividual homeowners. If they are not cooperative it may be very difficult to construct this trail segment. ln the past prope-rty owners along Segment 78 have been less than cooperative in dedicating easements across their property for trail segments .. This same issue may ruise with Trail Segments 8C and 8E through the Flower Fields. ] believe that these would be popular trail segments, but the operator of the Flower Fields may be reluctant to allow free, unrestricted public access through their f.lowers. Oppositi.on to trail segments from prope1ty owners can be an even greater constraint to their construction than biological or cultural resources. What type of discuss was held with SDG& E, Caltraris and NCTD l'egarding trail segments in their right-of-way or casements? The implementation of a number of the trail seb'liltmls rely on their cooperation. A minor item, but Trail Segment 2B does not connect to the Cape in Calavera, it con.nects to the Knolls. [ support the recommendation that Nature Trails be no wider than four feet, we do not need wide trails through natural areas. The City should consider narrowing these trails down to two feet when going through sensitive cultural or biological 3J'eas to minimize impacts. Most trails through the Sierras or other natural areas are rarely four feet in width. How were the implementation dates determined for each trail segment? I looked through the document, but could not find a clear explanation for this. It may have been in ther.-:, but l missed it. 77 MͲ6 MͲ7 MͲ8 MͲ9 [ [ [ [ Please do not give up on Seb,'!11ents 1 C (Haymar to Quarry Creek) or the connection from Sage Creek High School to the terminus of Cannon Road in Oceanside. I understand that at this time the Wildlife Agencies may not be supportive, but both of these trail segments would provide much needed links. Trail Segment 9E should be labeled Cantarini/Holly Springs since most of the trails shown for this segment are actually located on the Holly Springs property. How was the alignment of these trails dete1mined? They appear to follow existing infonnal mountain bike trails some ofwhicb are heavily eroded and should be closed off. The cost estimates are very useful, but when implementing this plan the City must be aware that the costs of the environmental review and obtaining the necessary pennits from the various agencies involved can be far more expensive and time consuming than the actual construction of the trails. Again, thanks for the opportunity to review this document and provide my comments. Overall it is a useful start in the right direction and provides a roadmap for the future implantation of . further studies that will lead to the construction of the much needed trail segments.

Kevin Crawford <Kevin.Crawford@carlsbadca.gov>; City Clerk <Clerk@carlsbadca.gov> Su,bject; Public Comment Regarding Trails Master Plan Environmental Review: Amanda Mascia Ms Drew, Thank You for the chance to submit public comment on the Trails Master Plan (March 2017). Comments on two sections (Table 1: 1 0A and Table 2:9A) are provided, and request further clarification before a negative impact declaration can be, made. Table 1: TRAIL PROJECTS PROPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE CITY OF CARLSBAD 1 DA Coastal Corridor (Palomar Airport Road to Poinsettia Lane) New construction to include paving, lighting, landscape buffers, irrigation, fencing., public art, and trail-head amenities. [ Public Comment: Any trails system proposed in the Coastal Corridor (and in the LCP Area) needs to specifically not alter or change existing coastal access and parking. Th.ere is a vibrant surfing and scenic corridor scene on this stretch of coastline (from Palomar Airport Road south to the parking lot before the State Park). This is a natural area, that needs NO further art or lighting, other than that I already provided by the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, sunsets and the stars and moon over L_ the horizon. [ In addition, "old 101" parcel (owned by the City of Carlsbad) that borders on the east of Carlsbad State Beach campgrounds should be given first priority to the State Beach to move eastward in order to deal with coastal bluff failure and erosion in the future We must protect affordable options to visit r--our coast (camping) at all costs. The campgrounds are frequently rated the #1 tourist attraction to L_ Carlsbad, and as such, the ability to provide campsites to move eastward should be a #1 priority. I All trails systems that are proposed for this stretch should take into account that the campgrounds l__ needs to move east, on the 101 parcel. I By not addressing coastal erosion in planning of the traili, there could potentially be a large environmental impact if a trail is built along already failing bluffs, and without consideration of existing coastal access/camping. Infrastructure that may be built to shore up a trail or amenities along the coast needs to refer to the Sea Level Rise Adaptability Study (also funded by the City) which clearly outlines that coastal armoring is the worse solution for beach diversity, wildlife and environment. 81 NͲ6 cont. NͲ7 NͲ8 NͲ9 NͲ10 NͲ11 L Lighting in this area should not be intrusive and it should not impede with the users' ability to stargaze and enjoy a darkened sky, as well as wildlife along our coastline. We have very few places on the coast where we can truly enjoy nighttime, without the impediment of manmade lighting_ I The public needs more information on this project before a negative declaration can be made, l__ as there could be a potential for impact as outlined above. Table 2: TRAIL PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED BY PRIVATE APPLICANTS OR OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES 9A Sunny Creek Road (Private Development) New Construction to include 4-foot wide decomposed granite surface, wood edging, trailhead amenities, and fenc1ing. [ Comment: Future development in the Sunny Creek area need to take into consideration the environmental effects of development and subsequent impacts on the watershed and the wildlife. This area is a wildlife corridor. Any pathways, roadways, or projects that cut the area need to address the effects on the environment in regards to wildlife and waterways. I All development and subsequent trail ways should ban uses of pesticides and herbicides, and plan for L_ non-toxic uses and native plants only, in order to preserve an already threatened watershed. I Any trails systems should include a means to allow for wildlife crossings and not inhibit wildlife with L_ fences and other manmade structures. I The public needs more information on this project before a negative declaration can be made, L_ as there could be a potential for impact as outlined above.

I am a senior and enjoy wa lking the trails with my 10-year-old grandson. We enjoy the natural wildlife as well as the exercise. Size and Connection of Trails and Open Spaces I have noticed that the trails are not very busy even at peak times like midday weekends. There does not seem to be any reason to increase the trails or open spaces. The plan seems to indicate that there is a benefit to having more open spaces than nearby communities. This should not be a planning consideration. If there is su fficient open space, having more space than surrounding communities does not make it better. This is not a competition for area cities to brag about their superlatives. While competitive superiority in facilities helps economic growth as a benefit to the city in general, it does not help the citizens who already live and work here. I live near the location of the Poinsettia fire 3-4 years ago. The existence of too much connected open space is a prime reason far the spread of the fire. This consideration alone should preclude expansion of open space and preclude connecting open spaces. Trail Improvements 86 OͲ4 OͲ5 [ C Trails do not need to connect to make hikes longer. Citizens can walk multiple trails and travel between them. If they are long enough to require bathrooms, bathrooms will just become magnets for the homeless and vandalism. I do not understand any reason why someone would walk a trail at night that needs lighting. I carry a bag for my own litter and litter that I find. My grandson enjoys picking up litter_ We do not need trash receptacles. There is no need to design trails for special uses like pets and bicycles, unless they get crowded. We have encountered bicyclists regularly at Calaveras Park without incident.

The new version of the Carlsbad Trails Master plan provides little details to priorities, timing, plans, goals, and vision for Carlsbad residents. It appears to be more like a framework for developers and other sources to provide funding to potential projects. That's not helpful to us residents. In addition to the information provided in all the new plan documents, my family and I would like to see: 90 PͲ2 PͲ3 PͲ4 PͲ5 [ L L [ • o A prioritized list of trails projects for Carlsbad to include timeframes, budgets and funding sources for those prioritized projects. • o Quantifiable trails goals, such as "Add one mile of trails to the existing trnil system each fiscal year for the next 20 years." • o A plan for the specific spending of the $5 million allocated for Open Space and Trails by Proposition C in 2002. As taxpayers, we would like to see our trail system expanded and expect a plan to show us how we're going to get there . This new M.ister Trail Plan, as written doesn't do that for us.

I truly believe that our trails system is essential to our daily lives and of course encourages us all to enjoy our beautiful weather. I was, however hoping to see more details with the Master Plan, such as a list of priorities and their funding sources. I do know that with Prop C there is allocated approx . .SSM in order to complete our trail system. As a citizen of Carlsbad, t would like to see a detailed report as to which trails would be funded and their timeframes alone with a goal for each year. In addition, I would like to see our current balance of our Prop C money so that we can prioritize our trail system, for example connect two segments or provide trails in a quadrant that is especially in need. I believe the Carlsbad Master Trails plan will include an area near my house, which is the Kelly Dr. and Agua Hedionda trail extension. It would be nice to know the cost and the timeline involved. This helps me know as a citizen, where our money is allocated and plans for the future. Thank you.

A more extensive conuected trails system, safer dedicated bike lanes and trails, and to keep open space a priority for creating a beautiful backdrop to the wonderful Carlsbad life.style. I did not have a driwr's license until l was 30 years old. I prefetTed to ride a bike to work and to generally get around the county on my time off. With increa:sing density and en:uing higher traffic levels, a:s well a:s increased distracted driving due to cell phone use, I chickened out after having a several close brushes with oblivious and aggressive drivern. I hung up my bike and got a driver's license and never got back in the saddle again. I miss the rid.es and the fitness level that biking provides-but I believe the roads are too dangerous to ride anymore. At the rate things are going, I b lieve I will be an long gone before the Coastal Rail Trail system ever connects our coastal cities, or that Carlsbad will ever have any truly safe dedicated bikeways around town. I do a lot of walking an<l again fm<l that there are fe w trails offtbe main roads lhat actually go anywhere that I need or want to go, or don't have to get into a ca,r to get to a trailhead.

It fmstrates me when year after year, the subject gets discussed but no actual City plan ever gets implemented that creates any real system of citywide interconnected trails and destinations. Why is this such a low priority? Why is the City refusing to use the money that citizens voted to use for open space and trails? We are so behind, nationwide, as a city when it comes to planning and actually creating practical safe, interconnecting pathways for those who would prefer to walk or bicycle.

We are gratified to see trails as outlined in the 85/15 Plan as well as the Citizens' plan presented in June 2016. We are dismayed that no priority level has been assigned along with no start/completion dates or cost estimates. [ As taxpayers and residents, we expect the Trails Master Plan to include a list of projects, priorities, budgets and timeframes. Carlsbad should have specifically assigned goals and the tools to measure progress and hold accountability. We expect to have a plan that shows C explicitly and in easily understood terms, what the residents can expect. I We hope to see our trail system expanded and expect to see a plan showing us how this will L_ happen.

I eagerly read through the Trails Master Plan to see what was planned and to anticipate a schedule of completion on the trails around the Agua Hedionda La.goon and the proposed Hub Park on the South Shore. I was disappointed to find that the updated version of the Carlsbad Trails !\faster Plan provides little details as to priorities, timing, plans, goals, and vision for Carlsbad residents. I would think a city with eager developers and lots oftourists would generate enough income that a portion could be dedicated to line item budgets to complete these projects. We would like to see a practical approach to making the wish list a reality with: • A prioritized list of trails projects for Carlsbad which includes time frames, budgets, and funding sources for those prioritized projects. Quantifiable trails goals, such as "Add one mile of trails to the existing trail system each fiscal year for the next 20 years." • A plan for the specific spending of the $5 million allocated for Open Space and Trails in Measure C in 2002. As taxpayers, we would like to see our trail system expanded and expect a plan to show us how we're going to achieve it. Cordially.

Access to BV Creek and signage for bird nesting should be provided. There is heavy use by bikers, hikers, birders and dog walkers on MANY trails in the Carlsbad Highland Ecological Reserve. work with the state to show which ones are to be allowed and which ones closed. Please evaluate between the west edge of Alga Norte Park and the western La Costa Preserve for a nature trail. Dog stations should be provided where Power line easements meet roads. Find attached petitions signed by 149 regular users of Village H trail 5b for off leash dog walking. This historic use should be grandfathered into the TMP. off leash dog walkers are an "unserved population" of residents and visitors. Many of our large hotels, timeshares and vacation rentals now allow dogs. This unrecognized user group should have accommodation in our city and this should be included in the update of the Trails Master Plan (TMP). Benefits for designating existing traiil Sb for off leash dogs: • creates a "sense of community" that is intrinsically linked to this special place. A central gathering place where people of all ages and t:hei r dogs i ntermi ngl e and develop friendships. People who live alone or lack a social network come here for meaningful human interaction, which is a key aspect of a healthy lifestyle. • Reduces pressure from off leash dogs on sensitive habitat, like Lake calavera, Carlsbad Highlands Ecological Reserve and BVCER. • Dogs in fact are less aggressive off leash, they are happier, they socialize better, they exercise more and so do their owners. • oog use occurs only during daylight hours so the adjacent wildlife corridor will continue to remain unaffected. 121 YͲ6 cont. • Volunteer folks from s.P.O.T (saving Pets one at a Time) dog rescue brings groups of dogs here in non-peak mid-morning hours. • The shade of the eucalyptus trees along the trail make this area usable on the hottest of summer day. we maintain this trail. • The trail is a unique "lap", formed over many years that enab1es folks to walk for miles. Most dogs are under voice control. • Reduces Cities carbon footprint because people walk there that might otherwise be_ driving to areas or cities to meet this need. ~any aspects (listed below) of the TMP, General Plan and Community vision would be m.et by designating this existing half mile trail at Sb an off leash dog walking area, as it has been historically used for. General Plan: Open Space & Conservation Element 12006) A.3 -An open space system that improves the quality of life for the citizens of Carlsbad and provides a variety of Open Space. 3.p.24 Update TM? to reflect changes in need, opportunities & priorities 4.p.40 Multi-Use Ensure that the trail network provides appropriate amounts of resources for each trail type of user group. 4.P.42 -Locate multi-use trails and associated amenities and passive recreational features to minimize impacts to sensitive habitats and other sensitive surrounding land uses, such as residences. TMP Goal 2: Accommodate a Variety of Trail Users in a Safe and Environmenta.lly Sensitive Manner Objectives: Continue to develop multi-use trails that support a variety of users. 2.1.A Vision for the Future ... Supports Community Connectivity and access to O.S., Social Interaction Goal 3; Identify Existing & Future Trail Development 2. 2 Ultimately, the TMP is addressed to residents and visitors of the City of Carlsbad, taking under consideration needs and preferences of the community. Its success is based on the public's input, which is achieved through the public outreach process. Public outreach was conducted in the early stages of the master planning process for this TMP. 22% of online survey respondents want more trails and open space. Many people would like to walk their dogs off leash, we have an area where this occurs, the TMP needs to reflect this. Kasey cinciarelli 2727 Lyons Ct., Carlsbad, CA 92010 ~~ 1 1 '-fC/(p -~5Z::L.

Dear Mr. Crawford, The following is a copy of my letter to the City Council: This letter is concerning the General Parks and Trails Plan. General indeed! TI1ere are no cost estimates, priorities, time frames, and no plam1ed projects. The so called "plan" needs to go back to the drawing board and include a list of planned trails, budgets, funding sources, and which parks and trails are of highest priority. I, along with many concerned Carlsbad citizens, voted for 0p._n Space and Trails Measur"' C in 2002. Nothing has happen d_ Th majority of people who voted for and against Measure A in 2016 wanted the "Hub" Trails on the south shore of Agua Hedionda opened. We even presented a specific trail plan for the south shore last year that was voted down by Council. Must we have near law suits filed in order to get parks (Buena Vista Reservoir) built? What happened to the monies set a~ide for open space and parb allocated by Measure C? I have lived in Carlsbad n arly all ofmy lifi _ As tax payer and longtime r sidenl, I am asking for you to please come up with something more specific, more detailed. We need a great Parks and Trails Plan tlmt enhances our wonderful city. We crumot and should not wail another 15-20 years. Thank you for your consitleralicm.
