UNBLOCK THE PUBLIC EASEMENTS ON THE FORMER KASSIS PROPERTY

In 1973, 30-foot easements were dedicated from Mira Del Rio Drive to Stirling Park Drive, and down into the 20-acre walnut orchard (floodway), connecting to the American River Parkway's River Bend Park and Jedidiah Smith Bicycle Trail. These are public easements are currently being blocked. These are current existing public property rights, and a private proposed development may take them away and impact the access to fishing, birding, hiking, biking and riding assets of our Parkway. Newspaper articles from 1973, when these easements were granted, make it clear bike riders were to have access to these public riding paths. We urge that these easements be enforced and demand the property owners immediately remove their fencing which is illegally blocking public access.
