CANYON COUNTRY : County Backs Plan for Off-Road Vehicle Park
Los Angeles County supervisors agreed to seek state approval Tuesday for an off-road vehicle park above Canyon Country, despite complaints from neighbors that the resulting traffic, noise and erosion would destroy their rural lifestyle.
The proposal, which includes purchasing two parcels of land in Hume and Baker canyons off Sierra Highway, will be among those considered for funding by the state Department of Parks and Recreation beginning Monday, county officials said. If funded by the state, the plan to locate the park on 537 acres in the two canyons would have to undergo a thorough environmental review process.
