Proposed ATV Trail put on "Hold" by CWC Board

Consideration for support of an ATV trail system was put on hold Tuesday night, as the Crow Wing County Board learned that a public petition was filed with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board seeking an assessment worksheet for the proposed ATV trail between Brainerd and Emily--passing through Trommald. Brainerd Attorney Patti Aaness, who represents residents concerned about the trail, explained in a phone-con that the opposition included, but was not limited to, the question of whether or not there's an ancient Native American burial ground located on the site of the proposed trail between the Mississippi River and Black Bear Lake. ATV enthusiast Roger Bently of Crosy, in a phone-con, wondered if this latest development isn't just another ploy to stall the progress of the potential trail.
