Maybe the reality is society wants us to stop riding..??

At least some of the more powerful and influential do. The small people get pushed aside for the greater good. Good?? Not really.

Sad... really sad.

Never give up! We can overcome! We are the underdogs!
We just need to have a voice equal to the really rich private interest groups.

I think the OHV community will meet the task.

To all you reading this: Will you help? Will you spread the word and contact your representatives?
Courtesy of response is requested.

This kinda crap is why I moved out of CA.

And now The Great State of Nevada is being overrun by Californians like the proverbial plague of cockroaches. Californians who want to ruin another state with their BS.

You guys need to get together and stop this shit before you have nowhere to ride.

Please contact your State Assemblymember regarding this bill designed to benefit a few local landowners at the expense of the California public at large. Your State senator likely already approved it.

You can say… Please oppose SB767 as it facilitates the taking of a public park for use by a private entity, or something.

It is stalled for now. As long as Glazer is in office, and Garamendi has money this will come up again.

We need to tell our representatives what a blatent misuse of of government this is where wealthy folks try repeatedly to buy legislation in opposition to the public interest.

and based on this, SB767 is "suspended"

Diana Meade, CORVA, posted this on InstaFace

Hey gang, I would still like to meet with the Assembly woman from District 13 as opposition to the park probably won't end any time soon and we could certainly appreciate an educated representative. But, the immediate crisis is on time out. SB767 has been suspended after the State came out against it. Interestingly, the States reasons for opposing the bill were the very same ones we kept repeating for the last several months. Precedent, costly, State Parks is the best custodian of the land, etc. So where are we now? I don't know, but I think it's pretty obvious that our opposition won't give up. They may shift tactics with the State firmly behind the General Plan and OHV. Whatever they do, it is my personal belief that we should not let up. This is not the time for any compromise. Our community has literally, "given," significant ground, to achieve the approved General Plan. Our opposition has rejected every invitation, every opening for input, every effort to build bridges. To their credit they have consistently maintained their no OHV position. Let's quickly review what our expansion gives us. Opportunities for 4x4 and UTV's, beginning trail riding, remote camping, new camping areas, a new facility for Motomart, and much more. Benefits for the region, over 1000 acres of buffer/OHV free zones, wildlife and archeological site protections, a world class OHV facility. It is time for our adversaries to cease their assaults on State Parks and OHV and help us build an amazing recreation facility. Stay strong. What we lose is personal, what they lose is another private/regional open space available to a fortunate few. We will win.

CORVA has asked us to do some small tasks, after they hare doing all the heavy lifring:

California Legislative Alert

SB 767 (Glazer) Off-highway vehicular recreation: Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area: Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area (As Amended June 27, 2019)

SB 767 (Glazer) is in the Assembly Appropriations Committee – It will have a final vote in this committee by August 30th

The Off Road Vehicle Legislative Coalition is comprised of several statewide or regional organizations of OHV enthusiasts. Our coalition has reviewed SB 767 and strongly opposes this bill that would deny opportunities for local Bay Area residents, including the elderly and disabled and motorized recreation enthusiasts.

The land in question was purchased using funds from the Off Highway Vehicle Trust Fund, with agreement as to the future purpose of the land signed by adjacent landowners. Subsequent to the purchase of the land by the Off Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division of State Parks, extensive work was begun to correct 20 years of previous neglect, including disregard of cultural and natural resources, and to bring the property up to the high environmental standards mandated by State Parks.
California’s environmental justice statute promotes the fair treatment of all people, regardless of economic advantage. State Parks takes adherence to these principles very seriously and therefore has proposed a plan for the Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area that enhances opportunities for all California residents – SB 767 ignores this inclusiveness.
SB 767 proposes the Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area should be under the control of the privileged instead of the proven stewardship of State Parks which would also serve to eliminate the security of state law insuring inclusiveness and access for all Californians.
Two years ago, the legislature widely supported and passed SB 249 (Allen, Chapter 459, Statutes of 2017), which created a series of environmental responsibilities including monitoring and review for all land overseen by State Parks and managed by the Off Highway Motorized Recreation Division. The environmental responsibilities in SB 249 go far beyond what any local county, city or non-profit is mandated to do or can afford to provide. Thus, this Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area should be left in the control of State Parks and thereby benefit from its expertise.
SB 767 would set a dangerous precedent by encouraging local landowners who object to the location of any state park, preserve or beach to push legislation to privatize that specific location.
This action would support privatization of public land and hurt many Californians looking forward to enjoying experiences the Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area will have to offer upon completion.
State parks should remain for the benefit of all Californians, not just a select few.
Please CONTACT YOUR ASSEMBLYMEMBER NOW!

Your action in opposing SB 767 is CRITICAL AND THE TIME IS NOW.

Anyone writing, phoning and emailing on AB 1086?
California Legislative Alert



AB 1086 (Bauer-Kahan) Off-highway vehicular recreation: Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area: Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area

(As Amended September 6, 2019)



AB 1086 is in the Senate Natural Resources & Water Committee – This is a gut-and-amend bill and is very similar to SB 767 (Glazer) which was held in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on August 30 and became a 2-year bill.



In addition to the policy objections to the measure, we are distressed that such an underhanded process is being attempted with this bill with one week to go in the Legislature. It is disenfranchising to the many stakeholders that would be impacted by such actions and is not representative governance.

The Off Road Vehicle Legislative Coalition is comprised of several statewide or regional organizations of OHV enthusiasts. Our coalition has reviewed AB 1086 and strongly opposes this bill that would deny opportunities for local Bay Area residents, including the elderly and disabled and motorized recreation enthusiasts.

The land in question was purchased using funds from the Off Highway Vehicle Trust Fund, with agreement as to the future purpose of the land signed by adjacent landowners. Subsequent to the purchase of the land by the Off Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division of State Parks, extensive work was begun to correct 20 years of previous neglect, including disregard of cultural and natural resources, and to bring the property up to the high environmental standards mandated by State Parks.
California’s environmental justice statute promotes the fair treatment of all people, regardless of economic advantage. State Parks takes adherence to these principles very seriously and therefore has proposed a plan for the Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area that enhances opportunities for all California residents – AB 1086 ignores this inclusiveness.
AB 1086 proposes the Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area should be under the control of the privileged instead of the proven stewardship of State Parks which would also serve to eliminate the security of state law insuring inclusiveness and access for all Californians.
