Public Officials Show Strong Support for Crystal Springs Cross Country Course Access

The tide is turning against the handful of people who seek to cut off high school athletes’ access to the Crystal Springs Cross Country Course.

At its November 23, 2021 meeting, the Belmont City Council unanimously passed a resolution expressing support of the renewal of the license between the SFPUC and the San Mateo County Community College District for continued use of the course.

On January 11, 2022, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution in support of the SFPUC renewing the license for the cross-country course. Video of the meeting can be viewed here (click on agenda item 8 in the index). Public comment was unanimously in favor of the resolution. The resolution can be viewed here.

The Scot Scoop, the newspaper of Carlmont High School, has also written an article on the course.

We appreciate this strong showing of support for high school cross country athletes and recreational access to the course by the elected officials of both the City of Belmont and the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
