Dave Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The DNR, Forest Service & Cook County are working togetherto designate & map ATV trails in Cook County. The countyhas combined the Forest Service designated roads; the DNRtrails inventory, and county roads on one map. Now they want OUR input – where should they put trails?Where do we need connections? Do we want ATVs in CookCounty? It is very important to show a large and positivepresence at these meetings. When the Cook County OHV Task Force and DNR tried tointroduce its OHV trail system in 2000, after years ofplanning, nothing was accomplished because many ANTI-ATVersattended saying “we don’t want ATVs in our county.” If you do, you should show them there are just as many people who DO want ATV’s in Cook County. There are two Open Houses scheduled to view maps and giveinput. If you cannot attend, you can sendcomments of support to the Cook County Commissioners,contact information below.Tuesday, January 24, 20063:00 pm – 7:00 pm Cook County Courthouse - commissioner’s room411 W 2nd StGrand Marais, MN 55604Wednesday, January 25, 20063:00 pm – 7:00 pm Schroeder Town HallSchroeder, MNCook County Commissioners:Ms. Janice HallCommissioner District 1 PO Box 484 Hovland, MN 55606-0484 Home-218-475-2307 (also fax) Email: [email protected]Mr. Fritz Sobanja Commissioner District 2 PO Box 522 Grand Marais, MN 55604 Home-218-387-9394Email: [email protected]Mr. Robert FenwickCommissioner District 3 2963 County Road 7 Grand Marais, MN 55604 Home-218-387-9105 Work-218-387-1033 Email: [email protected]Mr. Jim Johnson Commissioner District 4 PO Box 104 Grand Marais, MN 55604 218-387-2254Email: [email protected]Mr. Bruce MartinsonCommissioner District 5 8041 West Hwy 61Schroeder, MN 55613Home-218-663-7189Fax-218-663-7232Email: [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
