MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation <br />DATE: June 9, 2010 <br />SUBJECT: Great Northern Trail Use by Horse Owners <br />Horse riding has been prohibited on the Great Northern Trail south of CR 33 since it was <br />paved. When the paving of the portion north of CR33 was planned horse riding was fairly <br />common on the existing unpaved section of trail on north of CR33. Staffs recommendation <br />at that time was to wait and see how the trail was used and whether there would an issue <br />with multiple user types. Attached please find a letter from a pedestrian user who has <br />concerns regarding the horse riders using the trail. Staff requests that the Park and <br />Recreation Commission discuss the various uses of the trail and whether at this time it might <br />be appropriate to restrict horse riders from the section of paved trail. <br />Attachment: <br />Letter from Resident <br />
