In 30 days, OHVs will be banned in town. There is another petition that comes up in 2 weeks to keep allowing access. The town council voted 4-3.

Too bad, but understandable...

I’ve only been there once last summer. This seems like the easy way out. Where is the enforcement for the idiots? I have found grants that support maintenance and enforcement of the laws in Colorado. And I don’t support 7 people, although elected officials, making this decision when another petition is known to exist.

Really makes sense, people get stupid around the 4th to the point I don’t even go to the silverton area over it. I’ll be out there in 8 days and will skip that area as there are good areas to ride that aren’t as crowded.

I understand that, but it seems to be the trend, same thing is going on in Moab. I’ve talked to these people, the folks that rent SXS’s in this town say that people are abusing the privilege (let’s remember that it’s a privilege) by driving faster than the speed limit and not respecting the towns people by driving around late, loud and often drunk....This is a threat to their business success....

I'd choose Lake City over Silverton any day. I've stayed in both but still sad to see them do that. I feel sorry for the shop keepers who will lose income.
Thing is, the town is so small the people running the gov there are the shop owners so really it’s their own doing, don’t think there is a year round population. Seems like most shop owners aren’t even CO residents. Go there in Oct and everything is closed and it’s almost a ghost town.

There is an amazing amount of ride area around Silverton. The in town ride band will not affect your time there.

Yes, Moab's struggling with this issue and it is caused by excess revving and noise in town and the residential areas - especially early and late in the day. I love that Utah passed the street legal law but we have to be respectful and understand that UTVs make more noise. If we sneak around a bit more, fewer people will notice and get angry.

Only that people will have to trailer there SXS’s out of town, and apparently rentals will have to move or close up.

True, but everybody has to respect the residents of Moab and the rules, whereas we are each only responsible for ourselves. Unfortunately, as is always the case with everything else, the few will ruin things for the many. It’s just sad that like everything else, this is being politicized and there’s senseless finger pointing, when in reality, it’s a few abusers ruining things for all the rest...
