Moto-Troubles in Riverside County

If this passes we could all miss out on more photos like this.

A $1,000 fine and/or jail for riding in Riverside County California! That is what we're looking at if a very few amount of people have their way in determining what is best for the majority in Riverside County. The Riverside Planning Commission is set to vote to approve ordinance 348.4213. This ordinance, if passed, will establish that it is unlawful for any person to operate any motor-driven off-highway vehicle in the county. Regardless of where you live, we need to let our lawmakers know how we feel about this. There is a planning meeting set for July 6 in Riverside. Before then, e-mail the planning director Mark Balys at MBALYS@rctlma.org and let him know how you feel about this issue. If this passes through the planning commission it will go before the board of supervisors for final approval, so we should act now to stop this. You can also contact (951) 955-3150 or Mitra Mehta at (951) 955-8514 or e-mail mmehta@rctlma.org with your opinions.

Here is a sample e-mail to Mr. Balys:

Mr. Balys,

My name is____________ I reside, work and own a home in Riverside County. I am very disappointed in what I see in ordinance #348-4213. I believe this ordinance to not be the opinion of the majority of the residents of Riverside County but a fanatical few. I support responsible activities on our own land and do not think that this ordinance does this at all. I ask that you and the rest of the commission look this over intently and see it for what it truly is: a vendetta by a very select few in Riverside County. Please consider all land and home owners in Riverside County and not just this small group.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
