Trail Assessment Policy for Use by "Other Power-driven Mobility Devices

Because of the high number of trail users (factor II) with multi-use activities occurring on our trail system and while allowing for safe passing (factor IV) from both directions and overall safe usage on our 8’ wide asphalt/stone trails, allowable OPDMD’s (only for persons with mobility disabilities) should not be wider than 32” and for the safety of all users, all trail users shall observe a not to exceed five (5) miles per hour speed limit (factor I) on all park trails. Also, per the city’s trail agreement lease with WeEnergies, they have determined that for safety reasons (factor IV) there are “no motorized recreational vehicles, including but not limited to snowmobiles, motor bikes, mini-bikes, motor cycles, mopeds, go-carts, and all terrain vehicles will be used, operated, or permitted on the licensed premises. Licensee/Licensor (City/WeEnergies) shall have the right to use motorized vehicles for patrol and maintenance of the right-of-way lands used for hiking, biking, and cross-county ski trails.”
