East Miramar Marines escort bikers out and confiscate their bikes
Really? Enforcing boundaries is not a new thing? Doesn't it make more sense for signs to denote that it is illegal to be on property then for someone to put up a sign that says "hey, it's OK to be on this property - come on in". My neighbors and I have been walking on fire trails on the east edge of Scripps Ranch for over 30 years. There are NO fences, signs or warnings to let anyone know that you may be on marine land. These fire trails are within eyesight of our homes and are not used for Marine training activities. We were recently ticketed for walking these trails and subsequently took a trip to the county recorders mapping office to find out where the real boundaries are. It turns out that the majority of these fire trails adjacent to the east end of Scripps Ranch are on either SD city land, University of California land or HOA land. The boundaries of the marine land intermittently jut into these fire trails for short distances and there is no signage letting anyone know where this marine property begins or ends. This instant heavy handed enforcement of invisible boundaries by armed marines and MP's without warning is out of control. As Diane Jacobs noted, there was a logical agreement with the marine base commander in the works that would eliminate the majority of these infringement issues. The marines need to be good neighbors, not our advisories and get back to the table to make this work for San Diego hikers and mounainbikers.— April 14, 2016 11:26 a.m.
