    Forest Service hosting Arizona Trail Workshops

    Albuquerque NM (March 5, 2012) – The 817 mile Arizona Trail was designated a National Scenic Trail in 2009, with the U.S. Forest Service as the lead agency for administering the Trail. It was the dream of Dale Shewalter who envisioned a cross-state trail in the 1970s and walked from Mexico to Utah in 1985. He then successfully promoted the idea and began working with the Forest Service to develop the Trail in the late 1980s. With the help of thousands of hours of volunteer labor, organized primarily by the Arizona Trail Association, the dream of completing the Trail was realized early this year.

    Now that it is complete, public input is needed to generate ideas on how to maintain and manage the trail into the future. The Forest Service intends to use this input in preparing a Comprehensive Management Plan.

    As the lead agency for managing the Arizona Trail, the U.S. Forest Service is hosting a series of workshops along the Trail during the week of March 12. The purpose is to explain the planning process, describe the existing condition, and listen to ideas from the public on how to improve the Trail.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
