As someone who lives on Greenbrier I just want to make sure all the CAMBA and other trail riders and hikers realize that the Greenbrier Lake area is a private association and NOT part of the Metroparks.

the comments were directed at the guard rail at the end of greenbriar drive only which is land owned by the metroparks which access is actually now permitted to enter onto the trails off greenbriar drive

@Tom, yes, however mentioning that the it would "open the whole south strongsville area" and linking to the Greenbrier Drive map does not indicate a specificity for .... the guard rail.

jg if you are going to quote me use the whole quote ....would open the whole south strongsville area to the all purpose trail in the metroparks.... I think having that path into the parkway off the end of greenbriar will be a welcome addition to the area for hike/bikers

Well JG I thought I would do some checking on your private lake on drake and it seems that Ed Fitzgeralds office is actually having the Cuyahoga County Boards of Revision look at the tax evaluation on the improved parcel, since it was undervalued and (WE) the taxpayers have not received the true tax amount due from your under-valued property, so thanks for bringing your private lake up

its already connected to the trail (notice those bulldozers)

If you're there every day as you say you'll notice that they put the guard rail back up. Going around it puts ruts into the yards of those living at the end of the street. A car cannot physically go around it.

well I just got back from my nightly bike ride,valley parkway to royalview lane then on the trail that goes right to the guardrail on greenbrier on home

I also talked to the metro-parks and they have agreed to allow hikers/bikers to enter the parkway off greenbrier (which I have used everyday for 2 weeks to get to the bike trails)

joe can you jog on those paths

Peggy Jarrett works at the brecksville nature center you should call the mill stream run and my comments have nothing to do about any "official" entrance it is about permitted access off greenbrier

My mistake, Some neighbors and I spoke to Patty. The contact Tom provided. Not a Peggy. Don't know where that came from.

greenbrier is a street off hunt and drake and the street dead ends into the metroparks, so the metroparks are going to allow bikers and hikers to enter the parkway at the dead end which leads to the trails and then royalview lane (click on the link at my first post) now this JG does not want walkers or bike riders on HIS street because as JG said
"there are many ways it can affect the lives of those on the small street" yep hoards of evil bicycle riders going past the front of peoples homes

Lyn and everyone, we'll have a story on this issue first thing Thursday morning. I talked to the Metroparks today and got answers about what's going on with the trail and access off Greenbrier.

Thanks, tom. I am familiar with Greenbrier. And cars were parked on that street when I stopped at a garage sale over there recently. But I didn't think that it was illegal to park on that street. Even the homeowner was parked on the street.
So, even if someone WAS to park their car there, and then unload their bike, would it be wrong? Other than bothering JG? If its a public street, why not? If its not harming his property, then why not?

I went on the path for the first time today AWESOME I have not been to that picnic area since I was a kid and I cannot see what they are complaining about
