Renewal'of use permits had not been issued pending the Planning Department presentation. Marsha said the r1ght-of-WBl did not lend itself to a continuO1ls hiking trail system because of'~ cross streets and traffic; that generaJ1y hiking trails mdbe arranged where there were interesting things to see; that passive areas would be arranged in quiet neigh- borhoods and in multi-residential areas there would be playgrounds and more active recreation; some of the original uses such as parking for public f'acili ties will be reviewed for compatability with the plan. Commissioner Wmiam Warren suggested a survey of the neighborhoods including qu.estions on the extended Hetch Hetchy use.
