Placer Countyas plan to create a new access point to the Hidden Falls Regional Park could become a controversial plan as neighbors in the park area are not happy particularly with the possibility of increased traffic, which has been a point of concern for years. A purchase agreement was approved by the Board of supervisors last week to purchase 50 acres of property for 1.12 million dollars through the Placer Legacy program. The countyas proposed Hidden Falls park expansion project, which, if approved, could double the parkas trail network from 30 to 60 miles over an additional 2,500 acres to the northeast of the park. A new trailhead access to the park and a parking lot with 100 parking spaces and 40 spaces to accommodate vehicles with horse trailers is proposed. Parking and traffic to the Regional Park have long been controversial issues for many land owners in the area.
