“I strongly oppose the closure of the OHV roads proposed in RIN 1024-AE91. There are better ways to manage the natural resources of our public lands than closing even more roads and lake access to the public. This proposal negatively affects locals such as myself and limits my access to enjoy our shared public lands. Please re-consider this proposal and find a solution that keeps the roads open.”
