Subject: Support for the DRAFT Hollister Ranch Coastal Access Program (09/24/2021)

Dear Commissioners,

I want to be able to walk, run, or bicycle the coastal trail across Hollister Ranch in my lifetime. The goal of completing the Hollister Ranch bluff-top trail, a segment of the California Coastal Trail, poses many challenges, as outlined in the DRAFT Hollister Ranch Coastal Access Program. However, the trail is of statewide significance, and now is the time to complete the trail and access routes to beaches along the way.

I support the public access and recreation policies of the California Coastal Act and the Gaviota Coastal Plan (Local Coastal Program). I believe the proposed program should conform with stated objectives that include providing safe, equitable, and inclusive access for all Californians and minimizing impacts to natural and cultural resources while protecting private property.
