Burleigh co. Ditches debate

I compare some of this to the street boulevards. It's public property but the adjacent homeowner is responsible for maintenance. Most city homeowners would hate if people came through and tore up their grass and made a mess for them to have to deal with. There is a lot of variables to this of course, depends on each road, ROW widths, and maintenance responsibilities, along with any liabilities (the fence just past right of way and accident happens with sue happy society).

that amount of wrappers from a specific brand of ice cream bar seems strange, almost intentional. Do you have any history with women or neighbors that like dove ice cream bars?

i knew a guy that it was quart Budweiser bottles. he figured who it was, same guy after work got a quart for the ride home. He saved them for a year then dumped them in the guys front yard.

It is more than I thought it was.

Nifty website, thanks for sharing it.

Are you not going to share what is the right of way in front of you place ? Is the damage within that right of way ?

Solution: Everyone who ditch rides needs to have an ID# on a large flag on a fiberglass pole.

If that became law, those that are concerned about trespassers can readily ID the offender and call it in.

Game cameras are cheap and easy - so it'd be easy for landowners to gather proof of some asshats trespassing.

This makes sense and is relatively cheap.

It will never happen….

One sticky issue with enforcement of ditch riding regs is that the type of character who rides around on other people's property with an ATV and doesn't give two poops is also the type of character that would get a kick out of trying to outrun the law. Major PITA for them.

ive never had to deal with ditch riders but have wondered when the ditch looks like the rez in nice areas with new houses. i guess it would bother me some.
