On Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 7:30 PM there is a public hearing scheduled concerning the proposed county ordinance covering ATV travel on Cook County roads. The proposed ordinance can be viewed here:
http://www.co.cook.mn.us/attorney/DRAFT-ATV-ORDINANCE.pdf.
With very few exceptions - the Gunflint Trail and Devils Track Lake Road - ATV travel will be allowed everywhere on the extreme right side of all county roads.
ATVers see this as a fundamental right - to ride everywhere without restriction. Those in oppositon see it as an assualt on common sense and on the quiet enjoyment of the region. We see this as a bad ordinance that will only lead to further destruction of the Northland as we know it and hope that it does not pass. However, it appears that the local ATV club, with industry and DNR support, has the county board in its pocket and is willing to drive right over the wishes of the rest of the community.
All interested parties are urged to attend.
