I am a little confused at QR.  The ambulance trail splits off into 2 trails.  I am assuming right is uphill, left is down?  If so, a 2-way traffic sign would be good.  I was almost taken out by some kid bombing down off the wooden feature right by the split as I was coming up.  Also, if the "old" climb is now downhill only, a "wrong way" sign would be good.

The new TTF mod and the new trailhead are great BTW. Lots o fun.

The ambulance trail is still a one way trail, the old corridor is just there because nothing is growing there and it's on the fall line. There is a do not enter sign at the top, but I will check the location to ensure it is visible to riders.

Overall we need more, and bigger, signage out there for some of the trail direction and trail difficulty. Currently working on updating the list I put together and getting it into a budget proposal for the city.

If it is not longer in use it should be properly abandoned. Put brush, etc over it to avoid the situations above.

The brush that was there has been moved by rogues. I'll add more.

Been there. PITA.
The bigger stuff you can find to put there the more likely to stay. Trees work pretty well, but no guarantee. Josh got pretty pissed last year after stuff he anchored down was moved. The sign finally stopped it from happening a third time.

Also, the downhill wooden jump (the first split left) doesn't help.....unless that is supposed to be uphill as well.

The only downhill is the line to the three sisters? 

It's not a jump, it was apparently supposed to be ridden uphill over the little gulley.  It needs a dirt on ramp to be made.

Well, its being used as one.

It's amazing what you can do with flat pedals.

Hee-hee!

Technically, what people are doing is riding it as a drop. Not the original intent, but probably the cause of people riding down it. We have a more thorough reroute identified for that area and will be pulling the bridge out this week to be used in another spot.

Relocated the do not enter sign, added caution tape, added brush to the old corridor, and extracted the wooden bridge that people were dropping. If someone rides past this without pause, they are just a jerk.
