Coach Kimball Wong loaded his cross country team from Chinese Christian School into two vans and headed down to the Shorline for a run last week, parking near the trail entrance in Heron Bay. The coach and his runners came back 45 minutes later and the vans were gone. The coach’s personal items were in one van and the students had left their textbooks in the vehicles, too. At first they thought the vans were stolen, but they found out they had been towed. READ MORE

So the Heron Bay trail is not for the public. That is what the city of San Leandro is saying by letting the HBHA get away with this. If anything, the streets immediately by the entrance to the Heron Bay side should be allowed for public parking. Let them have permit parking for areas further from the entrance. I have enjoyed the Heron Bay trail for years and can’t believe know one has protested this.
Sounds like Mr. Wong got mad he got caught breaking the law. And now he’s out for revenge by enlisting his friends at the Times. “I was suprised the tow trucks got here so fast…” He saw the sign.
As a resident, I feel sorry for the people who cannot enjoy the trail, but I am also glad that I can see out my front window and park my car on the street in front of my house. I think there should be parking put aside for visitors, and I am not saying parking placards. There should be designated parking for people wanting to enjoy the trail. There should be a compromise somehow. After all many people will be having extra visitors during the holiday season. The HOA only provided 2 visitor passes. In this economy people shouldn’t be having to pay out $380.00, there should be a warning process!
Two parking passes for visitors? That’s a hoot. Good luck @ Thanksgiving.
