This is a no-brainer improvement for, our city, a trail linking the great trails in Newport Beach, Irvine, and the beach trail with Costa Mesa; all of this beginning just a couple of blocks from Orange Coast College and Costa Mesa High School. It seems that one paranoid.resident,mith unnatural.fears for.his family and property,.was able to nuTfify.years of work on this project The project will increase safety by providing safe bike transportation for kids and adults alike. I have ridden my bike in Costa Mesa for years, and there are few safe trails to ride, even though there are many canals that could be used for bike trails. When I ride in Irvine I see many different people using the trails: bikes, razors, joggers, baby strollers, and walkers. These trails are safe and crisscross many residential neighborhoods. They enhance the community and make it livable. Those who prefer to lock their door, build a wall, and treat a community canal as a personal moat, are not part of our community. They have isolated themselves. The City Council must act forthe community, not just for one lonely, pathetic, paranoid voice. Please reconsider the Paularino Trail and move -it forward with great haste. I'm tired of dodging traffic on unsafe bike trails.

Dear Mr. Naghavi ( And everyone else, hee, hee! ): Thanks for replying! I think that you are doing the right thing by exploring all aspects of your idea before proceeding, and hope i am not the only user of the city trail system to contact you, or appear at meetings to opine. As you can tell from this link, and may have already heard from Mrs. Foley, I responded, in more depth, to her e-mail to me. I would love to attend the Study Session she -mentioned if I knew when, and where, and am able. Alternatively if there is info posted online afterward, or is currently info online, I'd be interested in the links. I'd love to come in for a visit, and will see what my work schedule is, and get back to you. Sincerely Yours, Mr. Kiril Kundurazieff Santa Ana, Ca.

What you may have read in OC Register is basically a very very preliminary step towards consideration of a trail. Costa Mesa Transportation consistently looks for possible ways to improve our bike lane/trail system. As such, we may look at every avenue available. The trail you mention, while not quite continuous but could potentially provided needed links between Santa Ana River, and the Back Bay. At this point, it is only "an idea and accordingly lots of questions remain. Once a direction has been provided, then staff will expend the necessary time and effort to thoroughly explore all related issues. We welcome ideas, and suggestions where practical, and will be happy to talk to you whenever you would like to visit our offices. Peter Naghavi Transportation Manager City of Costa Mesa -----Original Message ----- From: Kiril Kundurazieff Sent: Sunday, January 28, LUU"/ 9:12 AM To: FOLEY, KATRINA Cc: TransServices Subject: TO: FOLEY & NAGHAVI -- Questions about New Bike Trail Proposal Dear Councilperson Foley, and Mr. Naghavi : I recently read the OC Register story on the possibility of a new Bike Trail in Costa Mesa. As a BikeBlogger, who lived in Costa Mesa for 2 years, writes about cycling in the city, and the Back Bay as well, not to -mention writing about cyclling in the OC in general, I was interested. I made a couple of trips to explore the route, as described, before writing my own story as a follow-up to the one in the Register. Did you go wandering around for a look see, as well, before deciding to explore this idea? The reason I ask is that, after checking things out for myself, I have plenty of questions. ;-D I applaud your goal, but the article/map, give the impression that the trail would be continuous, when all the evidence I saw clearly shows otherwise. I just completed a 3 part series, with pictures, and will add more chapters as the story warrants.
