Title: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: bad2thebone on November 09, 2006, 06:47:06 PM A senic highway through the ONF. You know what that will mean. CAG is an enviromental group looking to put a senic corridor through the ONF. Enviromental groups that are involved with this are Scrub Jay group, along with the ONFA. Preserve our trails for riding.. Environmental groups..

Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: lswjth2 on November 09, 2006, 06:58:33 PM This is TERRIBLE NEWS. You riders that ride there in ONF are in peril unless you fight this. I have been posting about this for like 2 months now....
Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: Thrumud on November 09, 2006, 07:03:25 PM This will mean that anyone who cares and rides at ONF "MUST BE AT THE NEXT OHV MEETING" IN OCALA. It's in January SO PLAN AHEAD NO EXCUSES like the last OHV meeting.
Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: lswjth2 on November 09, 2006, 07:07:17 PM Thrumud, they need to attend the next MPO(Metropolitan Planing Organization) meeting that they have in Ocala...

Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: Thrumud on November 09, 2006, 07:32:41 PM NEXT MEETING .............. JAN 18TH 2007 11am to 3pm in OCALA. The committee wants to do a HUGE group ride the day before the meeting. It's on a Thursday and the group ride will be Wed the 17th Tell your boss you can't work those days.
Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: Gato on November 09, 2006, 07:38:02 PM will try to do both but most likely I will only go for the meeting I am in Dade so if anyone in the area plans on fighting this and want to ride along we can plan it let me know?
Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: bad2thebone on November 09, 2006, 08:06:35 PM I might be dumb but isn't that what the onfa logo is - to help keep our trails. I am being to think that they are also part of the environmentalist, first ONFA was mentioned in an earlier thread about parterning with Wildlaw, now partnering with the Black Bear senic byway.
This has nothing to do with the OHV adisory meeting in January. That I think is a different issue. If you want to read abut the 60 mile corridor they want to bulid the link is: www.sr40.com. There was a meeting today, in Ocala, and they is another meeting scheduled for December 7, 2006, don't know where yet. Three of the USFS people are also involved in this process. It looks like the 60 mile corridor is through the ONF. Title: Re: ONF Trouble Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Post by: lswjth2 on November 09, 2006, 08:16:01 PM Bad2bone, Thank you for posting the link. THAT'S THE MEETINGS THAT PEOPLE MUST ATEND,THE OHV MEETING THAT THRUMUD POSTED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SCENIC TRAIL.THE SCENIC TRAIL DESIGNATION IS OUR ENEMY.WE WILL BE SHUT OUT IF THEY HAVE THEIR WAY. I am fighting one in Collier cnty right now......

This is SERIOUS FOLKS, NO BS.....
Folks,ONF is under attack by the guise of trying to get a SCENIC HIGHWAY DESIGNATION. The lady that sits on this commission is Linda Duever, she's with the WILDLANDS PROJECT. Here's her link http://www.conway.com/cconserv/History%20of%20SEWP.htm You can decide to fight against this, or sit on your a$$ and lose another area. |
