The property, at 16701 Via La Costa, was dedicated for public use in 1989 as part of an agreement between Headland Proper- ties Associations, LLC, the developers of the Highlands, and the Coastal Commission. According to the agreement, Headland was required to build a restroom and park- ing spaces to make it easier for Los Ange- les residents to access the Temescal Ridge Trail, which connects to Temescal Canyon and the Backbone Trail and also serves as a firebreak. The agreement also lays out ownership rules: “The trailhead may be transferred to the City of Los Angeles Department of Recre- ation and Parks for purposes of mainte- nance and liability, or other public or non-profit agency approved by the Execu- tive Director [of the Coastal Commission].” (Continued on Page 26) The trailhead’s bathroom and parking are closed off to public use.

The posts on Critical Mass over the first five weeks of the campaign offer a snapshot of American literary culture circa spring 2007, which was evolving faster than many readers, authors and book critics could absorb. Solicited from authors, editors, journalists, book critics and others involved with books and literature, the posts offered a diverse and wide‐ranging set of viewpoints‐‐as might be expected from a group of critics and passionate writers and readers. Among them: Richard Powers, George Saunders, Rick Moody, Lee Smith, Andrei Codrescu, Roxana Robinson, AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) president Catherine Brady, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard Ford, Nadine Gordimer, Sara Paretsky, Stewart O'Nan, Nicholas Christopher, Bill Roorbach; book editors from the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Pittsburgh Post‐ Gazette, the American Book Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, the New Orleans Times Picayune, the Jewish Forward, as well as Bob Mong, editor of the Dallas Morning News, Mark Sarvas, who writes the literary blog The Elegant Variation, and Carrie Kania, who described an inclusive approach to getting the word out about books she publishes: print, radio, television, online, including MySpace pages, literary blogs, bookstore websites. (Read the blog and the comments for the flavor of the sometimes heated discourse.)
