Dear Ridgewood Home Owner Association: <br /> We would like your input in resolving an issue on a trail that is partly on City park land <br /> and partly on a Ridgewood outlet. (See attached map.) This trail was built several years ago for <br /> cross-county skiing and hiking. This past summer portions of this trail experienced significant <br /> erosion due to motorized vehicle use and mountain bike use. <br /> Our hope for this trail is that it be maintained primarily for hiking, snowshoeing, cross- <br /> country skiing and with a possible mountain biking loop. <br /> To accomplish this goal, we need your help in restricting the use of motorized vehicles on <br /> the portion of the trail on Ridgewood property. No motorized use is allowed on the City portion <br /> of this trail. <br /> Also, an interest has been expressed to use this trail for mountain biking. This can be <br /> done but will require some rerouting around sensitive trail areas during the mountain biking <br /> season. Erosion damage also will have to be repaired on existing trails to prevent serious and <br /> irreparable erosion. <br /> Please let us know what your policy is regarding motorized use of this trail on your out <br /> lot. We will assist in signing and enforcement if you wish. The alternative to a non-motorized <br /> area is to abandon the city owned portion of the trail to protect city park land from erosion. <br /> Thank you for your help, <br /> Elk River Park and Recreation <br /> U:\PAULAQâ– UDGEWOO.WPD <br />
