Premature at best, and disastrous at worst. People refused to follow guidelines a month ago, to the point that all of these areas needed to be closed. Why would you expect their behavior to change? Once again, we will have throngs of people coming to our community from SF and far outside the immediate area (so much for the “10 miles from home” restriction) endangering everyone with overcrowding. God, I hope not. I hope everyone spreads out all over the Bay Area, using the trails appropriately. Are the San Mateo County Sheriff and Santa Clara County Sheriff, as well as the park ranger system, prepared to park an officer in every parking lot? Check for masks and enforce distancing?
