Petition to Maintain Ordinance Banning Mountain Biking <br />in Sunfish Park <br />We support the Lake Elmo long-standing policy and current ordinance banning mountain biking in Sunfish Park. We <br />support the original intent of the park for preservation of natural wilderness and passive usages of hiking/walking, <br />cross-country skiing, bird watching, photography, nature studies, picnicking, canoeing, and sailboating. <br />Mountain biking is not compatible with the intent for preservation of the woods. It diminishes and destroys the <br />peacefulness of a hike/walk, observation of wildlife and birds, and preservation of flora. The chance for increased <br />risk, and more importantly injury to a hiker/walker is a major concern and liability. Testimony has been presented <br />by the Nature Conservancy confirming the uniqueness and delicate nature of the woods in Sunfish Park. Mountain <br />biking would cause severe destruction and erosion to this unique topography. <br />We support the above usages to accomplish the preservation of the woods in Sunfish Park. <br />_ s . <br />WIN <br />ONE <br />50 <br />1 %%.7) <br />c)/ 4- '�4 <br />. /C"I <br />ka-4 6�11 i <br />Ii1za .
