ATV's were not allowed on city streets (pop. 250. We al had ATV's and abided by the rule....sorta'. We traveled through there on our way home from Montana a couple, three years ago. Side X side wheelers lined the roads, highways, trails, and eateries in town and all over the place.

NO! For the above, and other reasons, We will not be going back to Lake City...ever!

Funny you mention Lake City. One of my friends lives there (moved from Texas maybe 6-7 years ago). He has been going camping in that area for well over 20 years and I have been going every summer for the last 10 minus last year (and likely this year). I don't spend much time in town other than to get supplies, maybe grab a nice meal, and sometimes a shower. We spend most of our time camping out on the Alpine Loop and off-roading the various trails. The past couple of years, I've noticed the increase traffic with the SXS mainly out on the trail. I know some towns have banned them within the city limits, I think Silverton was one of them, but Lake City allows it. I guess it's all about bringing business to the small towns during the summer as they are dead any other time of year. I get it. But don't like it. But I also don't live there. I go there to get away from everything and I hate hearing the sounds of SXS and ATV's going up and down the trails early in the morning and late in the day.

Well this sucks if it passes. My friends and I usually spend a week in Colorado camping, hiking, and off roading to escape the Texas heat. Hadn't been since 2019 because of the pandemic, was planning on next year being our first year back. I'll have to seriously consider going through the trouble of looking if this passes.
