ATV use on the Wildwood Trail

ATV groups have requested permission to use ATVs on the Wildwood trail and there have been some concerns raised. I would like to see if we can come up with a plan that addresses the concerns so that we can make everyone happy. Please comment with any suggestions that you have.

Concerns include:
Pedestrian safety
Dust
Noise
Maintenance:
* Ruts
* Road crossings (blacktop edge)
* Quicker surface wear
Pinch points (narrow areas like the tunnel under the freeway)
Liability
Steep hill at the county line
Loss of non-motorized grants
Paying for any work or materials needed
Sight distance issues for road crossings

Wisconsin Senate Advances Bill Opposed by Unions - NYTimes.com

Wisconsin Senate Advances Bill Opposed by Unions - NYTimes.com: "The Wisconsin Senate succeeded in voting Wednesday to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers, after Republicans outmaneuvered the chamber's missing Democrats and approved an explosive proposal that has rocked the state and unions nationwide."

This doesn't strip bargaining rights from workers -- it strips the rights of unions to force people to join. If anyone doesn't like the wage and benefits of their job, they are free to look for a better job.
