It is imperative that you deal with this problem immediately. I have personally encountered seven groups of bikers (four this weekend). One biker and a group of three were heading up the driveway towards my house and Barn complex. One group of four encountered by my caretaker, were dressed like antifa criminals in all black with masks and goggles. If you are negligent and do not take action to immediately control the biker trespassing it could easily result in a violent confrontation between the bikers and the one or more of the permanent residents on my property (e.g., myself, my caretaker and his wife). You and EBRPD would be directly responsible for the consequences of any violent confrontation. I have already been threatened by one biker. Many bikers have an “attitude” and consider themselves to be “macho”. Note: I’m not driving down the driveway looking for bikers…. these are just chance encounters associated with my daily activities. There are many more bikers on the Trail. This morning two Alameda County sheriff’s deputies came to my house to discuss the situation. They confronted me because one (or more) bikers reported the encounter they had with me and kicking them off my property in a “mean-spirited manner”. The sheriff’s deputies encouraged me to be “nicer” when encountering the trespassing bikers. I asked them “how many times am I supposed to deal with trespassing bikers and be nice?” No response. It is important to remember who are the victims and who are the criminals. The permanent residents on my property are the victims. In 1955, my father and mother purchased the property that I have lived on for the past 20 years. We have never experienced problems and trespassers like you/EBRPD have created with the uncontrolled access to your Trail. You and I stood on the driveway at the Trail entrance the day I met you and you stated the Trail would not be open until the staging area was complete and further noted “we don’t know when that will occur”. You are EBRPD’s representative and you are obligated to keep your word! Did you tell the Trail Contractor the Trail would not be open to the public in the foreseeable future? Why do all his signs suggest it will be open? I am expecting that you will immediately address this unfortunate situation. I would like to know when you will install the electric gate at the entrance. Also, I would like to install the electric gate at the Firehouse immediately and, therefore, would like to work with your representative to determine how this can best be accomplished. Finally, what is your plan to close the illegal access at the north end of Pleasanton Ridge? Very truly yours, Ted S. Vinson Ted S Vinson, PhD, PE cc. Melanie D.
