RE: Support for Item F-2
Dear SLOCOG Board of Directors,
1-\-€,('{) 8

I am writing today to express our full, enthusiastic support for the Bob Jones Trail. Our
organization urges you to allocate $7 million in gap funding to ensure the Bob Jones Trail
can be successfully constructed after decades of effort by our community and the County
of San Luis Obispo to bring this project to fruition.
The trail will become an important alternative transportation route between San Luis
Obispo and South County and will improve access and increase safety for wildfire
response and land management along the route. It will also boost tourism in our region -
inspiring people to extend their stays andvisitbusinesses in connected communities on
their bikes or on foot.
Our organization has invested heavily in the future of the trail, including constructing and
managing the Octagon Barn Center trailhead (with great help from SLOCOG and the
County), purchasing land along the plann~d route, recently dedicating right of way for the
trail on those lands, and caring for the farmland and wildlife habitat of San Luis Obispo
Creek. And we are just one partner that has poured funding and time into making this trail
possible for our community.
The time has come to make this vision of connected multi-modal trails a reality. The
existing Bob Jones trail is a beloved community asset, and so many residents are excited to
one day walk or bike safely between San Luis Obispo and our seaside communities. Please
approve the reallocation of funding under Item F-2 and help secure our region's vitality.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kaila Dettman
Executive Director
