Mike Ericson From: Paul Palzer Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2017 8:18 AM To: Mike Ericson Cc: Tedd Peterson Subject: RE: Trail Entrance Hello Mike - We are having the same issue on the Beaver Pond Trail sign and both trails have had the "no motorized vehicles on trail " signs removed. It appears the same driver is using both trails for short cuts. It appears the person is using a pickup truck and would just snap the break-aways on the posts and make plowing difficult. We spoke with a resident on Beaver Pond Way and asked them to report it to the police when it happens and we will be attempting to get a photo of the vehicle and driver over the next several weeks. We have ordered the" no vehicle on trail signs". Mike, please bring up this issue at your weekly police meetings. I encourage residents to call 911 if someone is driving on the trail or get a description or photo. Does anyone have an idea who might be driving on the trails? It seems a person in the neighborhood might be a suspect.

Since that time, I've noted a decrease, so I've remained fairly quiet about it. My next door neighbor, who has a two year old boy advised me, he continues to see vehicles driving down the path and has even witnessed vehicles with their lights off at night coming down the path. This appears to be a real safety concern, especially considering the entrance to the path off of Eagle Trl. is not 100% visible as you approach from 21 st. My fear is someone in a vehicle one day will not see a bike or walker in time. It would be great if Paul could take a look at this and offer suggestions as an agenda item during a meeting in the very near future. We could place a post at the Eagle Trl. entrance much like the post at the trail entrance in Lamotte Park. Thanks: 54
