_ blamed
for trail
damage

HIKERS ARE complaining
about the effect mountain bik-
ers are having on loca! trails.

WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

By Maureen Curtis

At its Sept. 25 meeting, West
Vancouver District Council referred
to its parks and recreation advisory
commission a complaint about the
“degradation” of the hiking trails on
municipal Jand below Cypress Park.

Although many of these trails are
restricted to hikers, cyclists have
succeeded in destroying many sec-
tions, according to West Vancouver
resident Peter Osberg.

He described a rather complex
process.

First the cyclists bypass the steps
and drainage logs that control ero-
sion.

Next year, the steps wash out and
the water runs down the center of the
trail where bikers skid their rear
wheels.

Another year and the steps are
partly or completely gone and “the
bikers’ wheels are tearing up the
roots of the trees,” Osberg described.

“In the last three to four years,
steps that lasted decades have been
replaced by gullies three feet deep,”
Osberg said.

He suggested that West
Vancouver follow the lead of
Cypress Park and restrict access to
hiking trails and let the bikers get
their recreation on old logging roads.

Coun. Allan Williams was. in
agreement. “It seems mountain bik-
ers are doing to our mountain sides
what motor bikers did 20 years ago,”
he said.

Masor Mark Sager defended

mountain biking as “an excellent

sport.”
