FYI............ About eagle mountain
Hello 4x4 Lovers,*
*
A new deposit system will go into place on Monday (March 5) for 4x4 users who wish to obtain a key for the gate to the Eagle Mountain trails (top of Parkway and Plateau Blvd).* There will be a sign posted at the gate which says the lock has been changed and a deposit is now required to obtain a new key.
*
Please go to the Animal Shelter (500 Mariner Way) to pay the $50 deposit. The Animal shelter will verify payment on an Agreement form which you will take next door to the Public Works Yard Reception. Reception will have the you fill out the form and provide ID and registration before giving you a key. They are open Mon - Fri from 8am - 4pm.
*
I regret having to make these changes.* The gate has been left open and the lock taken or discarded numerous times. A City water reservoir is located behind the gate and an open gate puts both the infrastructure and public safety at risk. There are also increasing costs to maintain this program for lock replacement, key cutting and staff time to attend to the gate issues.
*
Before I get any feedback telling me that it is only the irresponsible people that do this, please consider that only a 4x4 user with a signed out key could have opened the lock and left it unlocked or taken it. Each of you with a key signed a waiver which stated you would be responsible for your activity in the area, including the locking of the gate behind you.** When you choose to leave the gate unlocked, you put your own access to this area and this entire program at risk of termination.*

Happy trails,
