Description

Dirt bikers at it again. I've told them twice now that dirt bikes are not allowed on the trails. They've been using the greenway a lot since the new year, and are not showing any signs of stopping. They typically get on the trail at the Peterson/S State St entrance and get off at the Ralph Campbell Community Center located at 756 Lunar Drive.

If the police would like to catch them in the act, it would be extremely easy: Have one officer waiting at 832 Nightshade Way (and with a clear view onto the trail) starting at 5 pm on weekdays. If they see the dirt bikers go by heading east on the trail, have them notify a second officer parked 748 Lunar Drive. The bikers won't see the squad car on Lunar Drive until they leave the parking lot of the community center, by which time their unlawful activity is obvious. If they try to escape by going back the way they came, the first officer could easily cut them off by moving onto the trail at the Nightshade Way entrance. There are no other trail exits in between the Nightshade Way and Ralph Campbell entrances.

It's time to do something about this and make an example out of those who use the Walnut Creek Trail for illicit activity.
