Attn those who enjoy Grizz Peak area!
Copied from Bayarearidersforum.com:
Speed Warning for East bay Hills from Mayor Brown
FYI:
Found on the SV Rider list
March 9th, 2005
Dear Friends and Residents of the Oakland Hills,
On December 22nd at our Town Hall Meeting, I promised to take action
and respond to neighborhood complaints regarding crime and police
functions in the Oakland Hills within 90 days. During the meeting there
were significant requests for increased patrolling of the area, as well
as the need for increased police cooperation with citizen groups
providing crime information.
I am happy to report that as a direct result of that meeting OPD is now
implementing a continuous presence in the hills and will cease the
practice of pulling officers from the hills to fill other beats that
are open. This is a new policy and we expect results. An additional
measure will include keeping at least one officer permanently on the
beat (beat 13) who will not come off the beat except in rare
emergencies. This officer is always there. If someone reports a
serious crime, he or she will be able to respond.
.

Lt. Kozicki has agreed to seriously target the ongoing problems of
speeding and racing and expects results in the next month, now that the
necessary speed survey (required by law every 5 years in order to
ticket) has just been completed. Lt. Kozicki has agreed to target, in
particular, the stretch between the Claremont Hotel and Grizzly Peak as
well as all those folks who congregate at 'the wall' and want to use
Grizzly Peak as a raceway.
Answers to specific concerns raised by citizens at the December 22nd
Town Hall Meeting
Reckless speeding in the hills and on Grizzly Peak
Motorcycle cops have not been able to write tickets effectively in the
hills because the streets had not been 'speed surveyed'. It is a matter
of law that speed surveys have to be done every 5 years or else tickets
are thrown out of court. I directed the Department of Public Works to
complete the 'speed survey' ASAP. The survey has just been completed as
of this week and is being sent to OPD immediately. We should see a
major impact.
For further questions regarding any of these matters or to report
feedback, please call Al Lujan at the Oaklanders Assistance Center in
the Mayor's Office at 510-238-7366.
Sincerely
Jerry Brown
Mayor of Oakland

Car Info: this required information?
i was up there last weekend with dahveed and we saw a motorcycle off the hill/cliff thing and a bunch of ppl gathered around, that may be a reason for this. either way it kinda sucks because i heard they have CHP on Bear Creek now also. gotta go slow one way and if no cops then turn around and go fast back 
fffuuuccckkk I have never been out there but I have heard good things and it seriously dissapoints me to hear of such a loss. Such a tragedy, I hope this crackdown is not spread out to other mountain areas.

Where is 'the wall'? I drive up and down the strech in
question from time to time, but I have never seen anyone
congregating anywhere.
