RESOLUTION NO. 09-18
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
TO HONOR THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BAY AREA RIDGE TRAIL COUNCIL'S
FIRST TRAIL DEDICATION
WHEREAS, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council is currently celebrating the 20th
anniversary of its first trail dedication in 1989; and
WHEREAS, representatives of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the
Greenbelt Alliance organized the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council in 1987 in order to realize
the vision of National Park Service Director William Penn Mott, Jr. to build a trail that
would ring the San Francisco Bay; and
WHEREAS, the Council has succeeded to date in creating over 315 miles of trail that
offers a special place where people can recharge their spirits while they walk, hike, run,
bicycle, ride a horse, watch birds, or just enjoy the soaring vistas with family and friends;
and
WHEREAS, the Ridge Trail Council is working hard to close gaps in the trail and has now
set its sights on the goal of the 400th mile; and
WHEREAS, the Ridge Trail Council has shown how important and successful the
partnership and cooperation between local governments, public agencies, nonprofit land
trusts, and local grassroots activists in the nine counties of the Bay Area is; and
WHEREAS, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is actively supporting the
Ridge Trail Council and is proud to co-host the Annual Ridge Trail Cruz where participants
hike or ride through the Santa Cruz Mountains; and
WHEREAS, the Ridge Trail Council will ultimately fulfill the dream of its founders to
build a 550+ mile continuous trail encircling the San Francisco Bay along the ridge tops.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the District congratulates the Bay Area Ridge
Trail Council for having done an outstanding job of creating opportunities for people to
experience the San Francisco Bay Area's spectacular beauty and for protecting and preserving
many beautiful natural areas for outdoor enthusiasts, mountain bicyclists, equestrians, and hikers.
