I know this isn't really a Snowmobile related question to some, but to me it is. I live right next to a little trail about 100 yards long that goes from my house right down to a road where I can cross to get onto the local lake and the trail systems around here. Every year the city puts up road blocks down at the end of the trail blocking cars (at least I originally thought) and snowmobiles from getting on / off that little trail. There is only 3 houses that border up against it including me, a farmer, and one of my other neighbors. All of us don't care who use it and we ourselves use it for various reasons. In the summer they sometimes take the barricades down and I am able to drive my suv and yamaha dual sport up and down it with no issues. but come winter they are able to see vehicle tracks and put them down. Last year on my sled I would just drive around them and get on the lake because I thought they were trying to deter trucks and cars, but the one time I tried to cross the road again they moved the barricades to block off my snowmobile tracks! leaving an open spot for vehicles to just go through. They never started to put them up until about 6 years ago some kid who just got his license took a big u-haul truck and was flying through the trail hitting a small little bump and catching air. Well some of my old neighbors, who moved away called the police and they put up barricades to block the path. this past summer the farmer had to move the road blocks to get his tractor through the trail and stopped to talk to me about it. we both dislike the barricades and have to move or go around them every time we need to pass through. I would like to contact the city and tell them that everyone who lives around the path uses it and doesn't care about the minuscule amount of traffic that passes through anyways. or do you think that would be a bad idea and should not bring it up to their attention? I can deal with movable barricades but wire fences are another thing if they decided to go that far to prevent vehicle traffic. What would you guys do?
(RANT) City puts roadblocks up every winter to block Snowmobiles / Cars.
