Board to send support letter for Square Pond public access; members emphasize staying off road shoulders
Summary
The board drafted a letter supporting public access from Boonies to the Goose Pond Road trail and asked the ATB Club to keep riders off road shoulders; signage and enforcement by sheriff's office were discussed.
Administrator Michelle said the board previously approved use of a stretch from Boonies to the trail system off Goose Pond Road and that the state asked for a formal letter of support. She reported she drafted the requested letter and included a request that users stay off shoulders on Square Pond Road.
Board members discussed who would manage access (the ATB Club) and emphasized signage to keep riders on the access road, not on shoulders. Members raised liability concerns if riders use shoulders or drive improperly on curves, noting law enforcement could ticket violations. The board agreed to provide the letter to the state with clear signage expectations.
