Dear Fremont City Council and public works personnel,
I have resided in Fremont for 26 years, and have ridden my bike up Morrison Canyon Road for 24 years (I lived here for two years before discovering this gem). Morrison Canyon Road is an oasis of serenity, safety and beauty.
It is hard to put into words the zen of pushing oneself up that climb on a bike, engaging every ounce of determination and will, cheered on by the natural beauty, and freed from the omnipresent threat of cars. There is NO OTHER place like this in Fremont.
I wrote to the Alameda Board of Supervisors to urge them not to abandon control over this vital section of roadway, but they did not care and let it slip away.
Now, I write to you, my fellow citizens, urging you to preserve one of the few things that make Fremont a desirable place to live.
There is currently an illegal gate blocking access to this road. Please use your authority to remove this barrier and restore public access.
Gary Walker, cyclist and voter
Fremont
