Mt.Umunhum、一般開放に向けて第一歩。

いままで一般人は立ち入り禁止だったサウスベイのMt.Umunhum頂上付近がようやく一般開放に向けて整備される様子。

SOUTH SAN JOSE -- Mount Umunhum, which towers above Silicon Valley, is in line for $3.2 million in federal toxic cleanup funds.

The news means Mount Umunhum could finally be reopened to the public, 50 years after the Air Force moved in and contaminated the soil with toxins.

The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District owns Mount Um, and estimates it'll cost $11 million to get rid of 88 abandoned Air Force buildings atop the mountain.

That project could begin this spring, with the goal of reopening the city's tallest peak to the public as soon as possible.

The Air Force used the mountain between 1957 and 1980, as a radar station.

これでようやく"Monolith Cube"まで自転車で登れるようになるのか！

と思ったけれど、これも元空軍施設なんで撤去されてしまうんだろうな。ちょっと残念。
