PRAIRIE <br />FIRE, <br />INC. <br />CON. <br />ONTRACTORS FOR ALL TYPES OF FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS <br />433 E. LITTLE CANADA ROAD • SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 • (612) 484 -5903 <br />February 26, 1986 <br />City of Little Canada <br />555 East Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Attn: City Council <br />Subject: Motorized Vehicles <br />Off Road Type <br />- Snowmobiles <br />- 2,3,4, Wheelers <br />Dear Council Members: <br />FEB 27 1986 <br />CITY OF <br />LITTLE CANADA <br />For fourteen months I've had the opportunity to observe the willfull <br />disregard of our city ordinance against off road vehicles in the <br />waterworks and Spooner Park vicinity. <br />My office is in the old Little Canada school and faces the park and <br />water works. I can both hear them and see them. My hours and days <br />are irregular, so I am aware of what goes on at other than regular <br />working hours. <br />I've personally stopped some of them and questioned their purpose. <br />I'm amazed at their ignorance and attitude. Most of them seem to <br />feel that they are free to do as they please and that it was none of <br />my business. <br />I believe that there are both state and city laws that restrict off <br />road vehicles to ONLY the following areas. <br />- any frozen public lake surface. <br />- any private property with owner permission. <br />- any designated and marked trail "snowmobile only ". <br />Its about time that you acknowledge the problem and do something. I <br />recognize it's tough to enforce laws when the means of escape are so <br />easy. It appears to me that a renewed stronger program of enforcement <br />is in order. I suggest that you give the following ideas some con- <br />sideration and then act. <br />1. Post more signs in and around the park perimeters. They are cheaper <br />than damage repairs. <br />21 <br />
