text: What a classic example of wasted municipal money and shortsighted "planning".  Are any even halfway serious mountain bikers REALLY going to be excited by a mere three miles of trails?  And to the extent that any of them DO use these trails, they will just degrade both the pre-existing trails, and the quiet solitude, that Edmonds Lake and Mirror Lake area USED to offer.
  
  Yes, thank you so much, Parks and Recreation Department, for ruining the peaceful forest hiking trails that WERE Edmonds Lake Park.  What I really think of this travesty I cannot even state for fear of being censored as "uncivil".
