Pump Track Project

Local realtor and resident voiced strong support, saying the pump track would give people of all ages a safe place to be active outdoors.

Supported the project overall but wanted community input on using park in-lieu fees upfront, and asked how much capital overruns would be tolerated, who will manage the track, and who pays recurring costs.

Started the community petition — now at 1,051 signatures including 287 from Aliso Viejo residents — with endorsements from local schools, Boys & Girls Club, and AYSO; no opposing feedback received.

A mountain biker who's skeptical — called it nearly a million dollars for a select few users, and questioned liability if e-bikes (motorized) ride on it with no staff monitoring.

Representing OC Mountain Bike Association, praised the project as addressing bike safety, cited strong ROI per other city managers, and offered that his group may help offset maintenance via donations.
