Subject: September 12th Public Comments for Item #11.1 (Approval of an ENA by and
between Select Contracts and the City of Gilroy)
September 12 Agenda- http://gilroyca.iqm2.com/Citizens/default.aspx
Potential content of public comment letters/emails/in-person: Select Contracts proposal for an
Adventure Park in Gilroy will be a positive project in the region for people that bike, hike, and
enjoy the outdoors. It will provide a benefit to our local community and attract tourism to the
city. “The inclusion of a full-scale lift accessed downhill bike park within day-trip of the Bay
area and weekend trip distance for much of the central California coastline is totally unique
and compelling as its own offering,” said Select Contracts in their proposal. The park would
be an amazing resource for local high school mountain bike teams, mountain bike enthusiasts,
new riders, hikers, and those who enjoy emerging trends in recreation. There is not another
project like this in the region. Gilroy is a Bicycle Friendly Community, and the Adventure
Park supports the 2018 Tourism in the Hecker Pass Corridor Resolution, and the 2020
Recreation Destination Community Resolution. We are actively embracing, advancing ideas,
and projects that promote the concept of free-range people in the City of Gilroy.
