Please take 2 minutes and submit a comment in support of expanding the Mirror Lake Singletrack and ask that hikers yield to bikers on singletrack trails. This is for the 20-year Mirror Lake master plan.

1. Yield to bikes on bike-optimized singletrack. MTB only (no hiking) on high-speed one-way trails.
We have had some incidents of hikers walking up the jump lines at Mirror Lake and causing crashes. This is not safe for anyone. All two-way trails will stay multiple use, but we are asking that MTB have right of way on bike-optimized singletrack, while hikers will have right of way on multi-use trails. High-speed one-way trails will be managed for MTB-only.
2. Expand the Mirror Lake singletrack trail system.
Mirror Lake Park is cut in half by the Glenn Hwy. We support expanding singletrack trails to the Inlet side of the park and connecting to Mirror Lake Middle School. Trails will connect under the Glenn Hwy at the Mirror Lake exit.
There’s a 100+ page plan at the link, or message CMBR if you have any questions.
