    logo_sedonamountainbikefestival2Sedona AZ (February 12, 2019) – The Sedona Mountain Bike Festival, in coordination with the city of Sedona’s Public Works Department, will close part of Posse Ground Road from 12 p.m. Thursday, Feb 28, 2017 through Sunday evening March 3, 2019 in order to make it safer for all foot and bike traffic at Posse Grounds Park during the weekend of the event.  

    There will be no through traffic to West Sedona School Friday, March 1, 2019. All traffic to West Sedona School will be rerouted via Soldiers Pass Road. Parents are encouraged to leave with extra time to get to school with the potential increased traffic on Soldiers Pass Road. The closure will not affect access to any homes off Posse Ground Road because the closure barricades will be located from above the intersection of San Patricio Road to the intersection of Carruth Drive (see photo). Additionally, residents may still access Posse Grounds Park during the festival weekend for other activities, but plan for limited parking and field access.

    “We are working hard with the city to make this an enjoyable and safe weekend for all of Sedona’s residents as well as visitors. We are excited to see such an amazing event in the town where we live and invite everyone to join in the festivities including live music, bikes and food and beverage vendors,” said Mike Raney, event director for the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival.

      2019 Sedona International Film Festival will begin on
      Saturday, February 23 and ends on Sunday, March 3

      Doesn’t anyone check to see if their festival will conflict with another one?

      I predict a traffic nightmare that weekend. No need for a psychic to see that.

      They just don’t care about traffic or residents. I honestly believe the city and chamber think more traffic is better. Residents? Sedona still has residents? Oh well, they don’t vote and we have fooled those that do every election in the past decade.

      Sedona is a tourist town, remember? Why are you still living here?

      I’m a RESIDENT and love the Mt bike weekend… Really great event for tourists and residents alike…. Perhaps as a resident you should try participating instead of complaining..


    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.
