Arastradero Open Space Preserve reopens parking lot

We went to Arastradero Saturday. The parking lot was full and more cars kept coming! Everybody's eager to stretch their legs and get some fresh air.
People on the trail were good, many had masks and almost everyone was social distancing.
Still, there were a lot of people and these days that makes me nervous. Hopefully, as more parks open there will be fewer people.

People are obviously ready to get back to being outside rather than sheltering in their homes.

It is about time all parking lots were reopened to allow for more people to get out. Otherwise, the parking lots that are open and the surrounding streets will be overwhelmed with people trying to park. Math says that all those who want to hike can't park their cars in the same parking lot. Open the others and let us space ourselves out.

Oddly, the city kept the parking lot closed until now while allowing people to walk in without the city even posting one-directional signs on the narrow trails and without any signage even recommending people carry masks (and wear them when passing other users).
We need smart and effective health measures rather than vacillating from under responding to over responding and back again.
Outdoor areas can and should be open, and we should have requirements that protect users while not being overburdensome.

Yes, other cities are making crowded trails one-way to promote social distancing. This is a great idea, especially when certain loop routes are popular.
