Approval!

Late yesterday afternoon was the Parks and Recreation Board meeting. During the meeting the opposition had ten (10) minutes to present their case why nothing should ever be done in “their” park. Also, the good guys, us, presented on why a singletrack venue would be great for Sioux Falls.

The detractors had their same objections. When it was my turn to speak (I was speaking on behalf of the good guys) I explained why this was needed, how it was to be built, and refuted the major objections.

The Board had discussions and then the Board voted. The vote was unanimous in our favor. There’s going to be singletrack in Leaders Park!

There are still some details to be worked out. I hope this happens soon. I was hoping we’d be months into digging at this point. Perhaps we can still get one (1) of the three (3) proposed loops done yet this construction season.

Ride on.
