OHMVR Commission Meeting to certify CSVRA FEIR and approve General Plan:
Friday, February 5, 2016
8:30 a.m. – until adjournment
Tracy City Hall City Council Chambers
333 Civic Center Plaza Tracy, CA 95736 (map)
Why this hearing is so important:
OHMVR has deliberately not yet released to the public the Final EIR and Draft General Plan they intend to approve on February 5, 2016. Remember the Draft EIR concluded there were no significant impacts from the existing Carnegie SVRA or opening up Tesla to OHV use. Rather than address the inadequacies in the Draft EIR identified by the extensive comments from the public, organizations and public agencies, OHMVR will ram through approval of the OHV expansion plan that will destroy Tesla as we know it.
You can help now:
- Attend the public hearing on February 5, 2016!
- Contact Assemblymember Baker and Senator Glazer. Thus far they have not supported Tesla preservation or helped protect Tesla in any way.
Assembly Member Baker’s email: a[email protected]
Senator Glazer’s email: [email protected]
- Donate to Save Tesla at www.teslapark.org . We need funds for experts to review the Final EIR when it is released and for the next steps.
Our work for the last several years to Save Tesla Park has been building for this hearing. Please help us continue to the fight to Save Tesla Park.
Thank you for all of your time, help and dedication to help permanently preserve the precious and irreplaceable Tesla park land. Your support makes it possible for us to continue the fight. Tesla Park loves you!

Imagine…a place with incredible natural, cultural and scenic resources located along the Diablo Range in Eastern Alameda County. Imagine such a place is a Botanical Priority Protection Area of the East Bay CNPS, Critical Linkage Habitat Corridor in the Bay Area Conservation Lands Network, and within an Audubon Important Bird Area. Imagine this place includes sacred sites for indigenous peoples and the historic town site of Tesla. Now imagine this sensitive native landscape in our area is under imminent threat of being converted to a destructive off-road vehicle park. Join us at our May 5th meeting for a timely presentation about the rich natural and cultural history of Tesla, the threat from the proposed expansion of Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area, and the work of Friends of Tesla Park to permanently preserve the natural wildland referred to as Tesla.
