VICTORY!
We are pleased to announce the Briones Access Preservation Association has reached a hard-fought settlement that includes the recording of a perpetual trail access easement that will permanently establish recreational access to and from Briones Regional Park over the EBMUD Access Road and a new trail.
In consideration of the property owner Mr. Knarr’s safety and privacy, Mr. Knarr is entitled to install fencing with a pedestrian gate at the bottom of the EBMUD access road with a keypad lock that can be unlocked with a pass code. The pass code will be made available to all BAPA members and neighbors. The initial code and any subsequent changes will be emailed to BAPA members. The negotiated hours of entry will be 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM April-October, and 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM November-March.

Contribute
Unfortunately, three years of intense litigation cost $475,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs. BAPA members and neighbors have previously contributed almost $110,000, and Marc and Marilyn Kaplan have graciously advanced the remaining amount needed to achieve success for all of us. On behalf of the Kaplans, we are renewing our request for monetary contributions to this neighborhood-benefiting effort and its success.
