Burleigh co. Ditches debate

[Obi-Wan]

If the damage in your ditch was bad enough that you couldn't run your mower over it or cause accidents to riders because the ruts are so deep, or experience these "kids having fun" causing even more damage how would you feel about it.

I have all this and more in less amount of road frontage ditch.

Did you ride as a kid ?

 

[Obi-Wan]

If this passes does that mean that farmers in Burleigh County can't drive an atv /utv in there own ditches

It sounds like they are exempting farmers, commercial use, and snowmobiles. Bitner even said he uses his to spray weeds and that would also be exempt. Pretty sweet deal when you can ban others but exempt your own usage from those bans

Shocking behavior from a politician….rules for thee

We can't seriously be thinking the amount of damage done by someone doing 3-5 mph spraying weeds is similar to that being done by recreational driving of the offroad vehicles, can we?

Or, are we suggesting a person can't use their offroad vehicle on their own property to maintain it?

No shooting ditch parrots in the ditch and no riding in the ditch. Some fun haters up there

I wasn’t insinuating either. Just stating the obvious that politicians are great at passing laws and nitching things out so they don’t apply to them. I live in Morton cty and sold my side by side. My tractor works fine to mow, pull a sprayer and blow snow.

I rode with a buddy very little but was usually in an area designated for it.

Not that it should matter.
