Snowmobile ordinance open to debate Monday

At 5 p.m. Monday in the Routt County Courthouse, the Routt County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing regarding Ordinance 91-2, which allows snowmobiles to travel on portions of Routt County Road 129 and C.R. 62. The 1991 ordinance currently allows snowmobile operation on designated segments of the roads from Dec. 1 to April 1. The ordinance provides for fines if snowmobile operators use the machines out of season, speed, fail to yield to other traffic, exceed noise levels or commit other violations. Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Diane Mitsch Bush said the ordinance is up for discussion only, and no official action will be taken on the ordinance.
