I appreciate that the scenarios are wired differently but the common ground is they are public use spaces used for running, walking or cycling. *at riskMaybe you are better positioned to connect the dots & clarify the following- With my valid green-card I can cycle on SANPARKS property ie. Table Mountain, Lions Head, Newlands, Kirstenbosch etc, those trails are built & have signage provided by PPA.Surely PPA can assist you guys with how to go about dealing with SANPARKS then? I am sure they are approachable to assist in this space & their contact details are easy to find.Spaz Yes, saw their branding all over at Jonkers - I live in the Southern Suburbs & I can assure Jonkers trails are in another league brah.Does TokaiMTB have the rights to sell off advertising rights on public spaces to bridge the trail building topic? Could be a revenue generator which be used to employ contracted trail builders instead having volunteer trail building days?

#POINT OF ORDER SPEAKER

If TokaiMTB has frustrated all avenues with SANPARKS, have they escalated matters to the Department of Agriculture who SANPARKS reports onto? There seems to be a massive drive by the government on developing the tourism space as well the safety of mountain users for both runners and cyclist~ This could be another angle to bring them back to the table. Using a structured channel to sell the concept & leverage the safety angle (wrt the recent fatality of the Ukranian runner on Chappies) could be that avenue which is worth pursuing; failing that using the media to highlight that "gated safer zones" which Tokai is to draw attention to the cause & get both private sponsors & government to plough resources into Tokai / Silvermine & Table Mountains network.

The Vision section of the website states that the organisation is there to serve the Cape Town Public - Yes the guys have & continue to put in works in the area but it has taken 4 years since the fires & all the trails are not complete. Jonkershoek had a similar disaster & the entire trail network was safely rehabilitated within 2 years. Perhaps "we" can lean on entities and resources such as Tygerberg MTB & the like who are actively engaged with both private and government landowners for guidance.

Well that's a pity, @admin team what was the reason for taking the thread down?
