Public Comments PUBLIC COMMENTS The SMMART Trails Coordination Draft Summary Report was mailed in April, 1997, to approximately 1,350 individuals, organizations, and agencies (see Table 5 for the list of the organizations and agencies that received a copy). Additionally, copies were made available at several local libraries and at offices of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. The Executive Summary of the Draft Report was provided to 500 agencies, organizations, and media outlets along with a press release announcing the public open houses. Additionally, attempts were made to post the Executive Summary of the Draft Report on the World Wide Web but due to unanticipated technical difficulties, this was not achieved during the publicized comment period. Two open houses were held May 7th and 8th, at the William O. Douglass Outdoor Classroom in the Franklin Canyon area and Agoura Hills High School, respectively. The format of these meetings were as follows: a welcome from the National Park Superintendent, an introduction to the project by the project coordinator, and short presentations made by representatives of the six Action Teams. During the second hour, the group dispersed to visit stations around the room where the teams had maps and additional information displayed and were available to answer questions and receive comments. Written comment sheets were provided to participants to obtain their input as well. Over the two nights, 94 people attended in addition to SMMART Action Team members. Comments Received A total of 115 comments were received fromthe public. These included written comments provided during the public open houses and letters received during the comment period. Three public agencies provided comments, including the Conejo Open Space and Conservation Agency, Cal Trans, and the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains. Seven organizations provided comments, including the Conejo Valley Cyclists, the Concerned Off-Road Bicyclists Association, the Malibu Park Homeowners Association, the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council, Trails 4 All, the Triunfo-Lobo Community Association, and VTN, West, Inc. Comments were received from 105 individuals. Table 6 lists the individuals who provided written comments on the draft summary report. Handling of Comments Each Action Team was responsible for reviewing and addressing comments received relevant to their team report. Teams generally either modified or clarified portions of their reports, added additional information or recommendations, or referred issues to the implementing agencies for their consideration without recommendation. Some comments were received that were beyond the scope of the team's purpose or SMMART Coordination Project 97 PUBLIC COMMENTS were considered, but rejected by the team. The remainder of this section contains a summary of how each Action Team addressed the comments directed to their particular team’s reports followed by excerpts from the comments. No summary statistics are provided about the comments in the final report other than the total number of respondents. Although the written comment sheets distributed at the public open houses requested people identify themselves as “primarily an equestrian”, “primarily a hiker”, “primarily a mountain bicyclist”, “primarily a trailrunner”, or “other”, team members felt that inclusion of the adjective “primarily” skewed the results. Many comments were received by letter and trail user identification could only be interpreted by the contents of the letter. Team members felt that including statistics about identified trail user categories could be misconstrued as a survey sample of the entire trail using population instead of a self-selected few. Also, statistics could make it appear that respondents were “voting” for particular options or recommendations. The excerpts from the comments are instead provided below to allow readers the opportunity to see the range of views offered on each team report. Comments were also not attributed to the individual or organization writing so that the teams, and report readers, would grapple with the issue at hand, rather than personalities. 98 Final Summary Document - September, 1997 PUBLIC COMMENTS Table 5.

  • Boeing Repairs Potholes Dotting Woolsey Canyon Road As Promised (Summit Life, Feb
    VOLUME V, #42 APRIL 2017 Boeing repairs potholes dotting Woolsey Canyon Road as promised (Summit Life, Feb. 2017). Based on government remediation plans, however, wear and tear on the roadway from heavy truck traffic will most likely continue for several more years (see story on page two). SANTA SUSANA MOUNTAIN PARK ASSOCIATION OPPOSES DOE’S PROPOSED TEN-YEAR SANTA SUSANA ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP PLAN; The 45-year-old organization opts instead for two-year “Conservation Of Natural Resources” alternative based on Field Lab’s commitment to open space ummit residents would most likely need the help of sev- eral environmental scien- tists to decide which of three Stechnically complex Department of Energy remediation alternatives offered up over the past two months would best settle long-standing pol- lution issues hanging cloud-like over Boeing’s Santa Susana Field Labora- tory and much of the neighboring West San Fernando Valley including Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Simi Val- ley and West Hills. Fortunately, however, the non- profit Santa Susana Mountain Park Association (SSMPA) has already done the heavy lifting, submitting their findings a month ago on the DOE’s recently published Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Of the three cleanup options for the 2,800 acre site offered in the EIS, only the least invasive Directors of the Santa Susana Mountain Park Association (shown one makes sense, according to from left) are Dean Wageman, Darlene Wageman, Board President “ ” the SSMPA, an organization with Teena Takata, Robert Bob Dager, Warren Stone, John Luker, Board over 700 members and followers.

  • Dos Vientos Trail System and Provides Connectivity to Westlake Village
    Dos Vientos Open Space Trails elcome to the Dos Vientos Open Space trail system. This large open space area consisting of 1,216 acres and 41 miles of shared use trails (hiking, cycling, equestrain) was originally part of the Rancho Guadalasca Spanish Land Grant of 1836. Dominated by chaparral and coastal sageW scrub habitats, this area provides a home for a wide variety of wildlife as well as rare and endangered plants including Conejo buckwheat, Verity’s dudleya, and Conejo dudleya. Mountain lions are known (although uncommon) inhabitants, as are coyote, mule deer, and bob cat. This area is also considered an important wildlife movement corridor into the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area through Point Mugu State Park to the south. The trail system provides internal and regional trail connections, as well as views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands. Directly to the south of Dos Vientos Open Space are Rancho Potrero (COSCA), Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa (NPS), and Pt. Mugu State Park, including the Boney Wilderness (CA State Parks) encompassing over 16,000 acres of open space. The Los Robles Trail and Open Space system is located immediately to the east of the Dos Vientos trail system and provides connectivity to Westlake Village. The Dos Vientos trail system is managed by the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA), a joint powers authority created by the City of Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Recreation and Park District in 1977. Open Space Rules Please help us to maintain the beauty of this open space area by observing the following rules: Open space and trails are open from sunrise to sunset except during inclement weather and emergency conditions when trails may be closed.
