+ + www.rrtrails.com RRT NEWSLETTER 246th Edition • July 2014 www.rrtrails.com RRT’s motto is & always has been “Save All Our Trails” UPDATE ON THE BALLOT MEASURE “Save the Hills” Ballot Measure has qualified for the November ballot. The petition signatures have been validated. Tell your Riverside friends and family that a Yes vote means...1950 homes where 164 are allowed! Vote no in November! People are confused and upset about this Ballot Measure. It just doesn’t seem right that we continually have to defend something that the Citizen’s of Riverside feel so strongly about, does it? citizens4balancedgrowth.com is sponsored by New West Riverside, LLC, which is headed by veteran homebuilder Terry Manley. Manley's company is under contract to purchase the 1,300-acre La Sierra property that is the subject of the Initiative. Citizens for Balanced Growth is a coalition of residents, community and government leaders, and conservationists committed to preserving natural open space while encouraging managed, responsible growth in Riverside. (former Mayor Ron Loveridge staged a ‘walk with the Mayor’ at Hidden Valley in 2009. Some RRT members attended on horseback. At that time he stated that he didn’t even know Hidden Valley existed. And now he is part of citizens4balancedgrowth, a proponent to the 1950 homes.) e: Some of our upcoming events ar are: Walnut Cr eek - July 27 see the flier Creek Wildhorse Campout - AAugust ugust 7-10 see the flier Jenks Lake - AAugust ugust 23 see the flier Boar ugust 24 Boardd Meeting - AAugust See you at the next meeting July 2 at 7:30pm at Filippi’s.
