HR County Moves Toward Parking Permits For Trail Staging Areas

Hood River County Commissioners have taken another step toward establishing a parking permit program at seven different staging and day use areas, telling County staff to move forward with preparing an ordinance to establish it.  Commissioners heard a presentation from County Forester Doug Thiesies on the proposal to establish a $30 annual pass and $5 daily fee in an effort to generate $100,000 to put back into the trail program.  Thiesies noted a committee that developed the program looked for a price point that would be agreeable to the varied users of the system.  Staging areas and day-use areas that would be covered under the parking permit program would include Lower Post Canyon Road, Seven Streams, Post Flats, Family Man, Binns Hill, Kingsley Reservoir, and Pinemont.
