227 ROUND TABLE The question of the County bike trail system was raised. It was pointed out that the Commission had reviewed the bike trail system that was being proposed by the County Parks ~ Recreation Department several months ago. It was indicated at that time that the proposed bikeway system was commsurate with the feelings of the Commission. It had been returned to the County with the Commission's comments. It was reported to the Commission that the bikeway system in Redwood City was being considered as a part of the Transportation Element of the General Plan which is currently under study. This bikeway system will be coordinated with the total County system. It was felt that the Commission would have an opportunity to review the proposals in the Transportation Element at the appropriate time so as to provide input into the bikeway system plan. A Municipal Golf Course was discussed. Commissioner Knecht felt a muni-golf course should be located in Redwood Shores. He suggested it was an ideal place for a golf course and should be located right at the end of Whipple. It was stated that the Water- front Committee will include this in a major portion of^their study. It was moved by Commissioner Knecht, seconded by Commissioner Guida, that a letter be written on behalf of the Commission expressing its appreciation and thanks to Sylvester Duplessis and its regret that he is leaving the City of Redwood City.
