Riverside MX Park?
It started as a passing thought and then became a mission; to bring a new motocross park to Riverside County. Riverside Motocross Park (RMP) would be a new track 15 minutes from Corona located on a piece of land many riders already know; 60 Fwy @ Rubidoux. It was to be an 83-acre facility with 4 to 6 tracks ranging from a peewee to a vet track, from a natural hilly terrain track to a big supercross track. The land is available, all the plans were in place, but our District 2 Supervisor, John Tavaglione, is “adamantly opposed”, according to his office. With the massive amount of power he has been given, he halted an 8-month project in its tracks without giving the proposal any apparent consideration.
The location selected for RMP already attracts a lot of riders who are desperate to find somewhere close to ride. The county was already aware of the illegal riding going on here. They know that a massive amount of dust is created by the riding here (dust is a form of pollution because it increases the amount of particulates in the air). They are also aware that there is rampant dumping and general littering at this location. As well, riders have free range to ride anywhere they want. Noise isn’t an issue both because the property is surrounded by hillsides that buffer the noise and the county isn’t aware of any noise complaints coming from this area. The proposal made to Mr. Tavaglione 1) eliminated illegal riding on this property, 2) drastically limited the available riding area since riders would be limited to riding on tracks, 3) virtually eliminated the air quality issue by controlling the dust with a watering schedule, 4) would eliminate illegal dumping and would beautify the area, 5) would give a much needed outlet to the riders in the local area decreasing illegal riding in the surrounding areas, 6) would bring a significant amount of revenue to the struggling local economy and would create jobs. These are but a few of the benefits. However, Mr. Tavaglione’s position is that he is adamantly opposed due to concerns about air quality and noise. (Keep in mind that there is already a significant amount of riding occurring at this location.) As well his office responded by saying that “He has neither the time nor the inclination to deal with this kind of stuff in the coming year.”
RMP is therefore asking for you to get involved. Please give support to this project and voice your opinion by e-mailing John Field, Senior Legislative Assistant to John Tavaglione at Jfield@CO.Riverside.CA.US and let him know that you support this project. His phone number is (909) 955-9159. Please copy RMP when sending this correspondence. Remember, Mr. Tavaglione is an elected official and he is supposed to work for you! As well, you may contact RMP at RiversideMXPark@aol.com or call Eric Elrod at (909) 273-0834 to find out if there are other ways you can support this project. RMP thanks you in advance!
