"J. Included in the amounts for this item is $50,000 from the general fund in the first year and $50,000 $100,000 from the general fund the second year for the Department of Conservation and Recreation to develop a plan to expand bike facilities at First Landing State Park. Funding from this Item in the second year shall be used by the Department of Conservation and Recreation to contract with the City of Virginia Beach to support the development of appropriate ADA-complaint bike facilities that are located outside of the protected natural areas of First Landing State Park."



Explanation

(This amendment provides one-time payment of $100,000 in the second year for the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the City of Virginia Beach to develop more appropriate ADA-compliant mountain biking facilities in the City. The current use of trails and footpaths at First Landing State Park is detrimental to the protected natural environment and associated rare wildlife species.)
