What do you love about the City of SLO parks, activities, and recreational facilities?

The Bob Jones and railroad trail. Hiking trails. I wish there were more hiking trails separated bike paths. Meadow park when we used to live closer to it.

SLO has some decent separated bike trails, but they are usually pretty short and not connected. Bike lanes are nicer than nothing, but still very dangerous for bikers. Separate bike trails save lives, and should be installed before additional development makes it much harder. Specifically, a separate bike path next to tank farm road would be a huge improvement for local commuters and tourists.

Developers should be able to bypass the park requirement like they did in the Serra Meadows and Toscano developments. These developments have no parks in walking distance and this hypocrisy should be remedied.
We have a few off-leash beaches, but it would be great to have some off leash hiking areas like Santa Barbara has.
An enclosed dog park would be great. Laguna is nice and large, but I am worried that my dog or another will get hit by a car in the parking lot as it is not fenced in.
Hiking trails and public beach access should be high priorities for the Diablo Canyon areas.

What is a disruptive statement?

A statement

containing personal attacks, profanity, commercial advertising or content which is entirely off-topic, and/or
from a user who has falsified their registration information with the intent to post multiple statements in one topic or to misrepresent their city of residence.

Why does Open Town Hall monitor for disruptive statements?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company dedicated to building public trust in government and broadening civic engagement. Many people will not participate if the forum has disruptive statements.

Does Open Town Hall find many disruptive statements?

No. Disruptive statements are quite rare - less than one in a thousand statements are disruptive.

What does Open Town Hall do if they find a disruptive statement?

Open Town Hall

moves the statement to a different web page,
describes the problem in an email to the author, and
invites the author to change the statement.

Does Open Town Hall ever edit or delete statements?

Never. Only the statement's author can edit or delete a statement.

If I disagree with someone, can I post my opinion?

Yes. Open Town Hall encourages open dialog which, by necessity, includes disagreements.

How do I know if my statement is a 'disagreement' or a 'personal attack'?

Personal attacks are disparaging remarks which impute motives to a person's action. Statements of fact, or of your own opinion are generally not personal attacks.
Here are some examples of statements which are, and are not, personal attacks.

Personal Attack	Not A Personal Attack
He lied.	He said he did X, but in fact he did Y.
She misrepresented the truth.	I don't trust her.
He is greedy.	He is making plenty of money.
It is merely a power play on her part.	She will announce her candidacy soon.
