We need to stop this and let them know if they want to exempt the roads they need to support another place for us to ride. I know some of the dealers will be there too. If anyone is available please come on out. Place: County Commission Chambers in the Roger Poitras Administration Annex at 2300 Virginia Ave., Ft. Pierce, Fla. 34982 Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2300+Virginia+Ave,+Fort+Pierce,+FL+34982&ie=UTF8&hl=en&z=16&om=1&iwloc=addr Title: Re: St. Lucie County Meeting Tonight....IMPORTANT Post by: lswjth2 on December 05, 2006, 08:48:00 AM I cannot make it, but i sent them an e-mail supporting the riders in your area.

Response- #1 Joe- Great to hear from you again. I hope that everything is well. I have received your email regarding the use of OHVs on unpaved roads in St. Lucie County. Please understand that this issue is not an easy one. Even though you purchase these vehicles, county government has no obligation to provide you a place at which you may use it. If that were the case, every owner of a Ferrari or Mercedes-Benz would ask the county to build an autobahn so the full potential of the vehicle could be achieved. I share your concerns regarding this issue, and look forward to providing any information I can to facilitate OHV enthusiasts finding answers to the questions you ask. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2007! Cordially, Joe Joseph E. Smith, District One St. Lucie County Florida Board of Commissioners Joe_Smith@stlucieco.gov <mailto:Joe_Smith@stlucieco.gov> 2300 Virginia Avenue Fort Pierce, FL 34982-5652 772.462.1410 Title: Re: St. Lucie County Meeting Tonight....IMPORTANT Post by: indianjoe on December 07, 2006, 03:26:44 PM Pretty close to the same thing he told me right after he went into office, when we tried to bring the ATV Park back into focus.
