Re: Petition to stop new MCR time restrictions
Would suspect this is all about liability exposure and yes eventually like too many other places MCR will be closed for some innocuous reason. Enjoy it while it lasts.
People weren't respecting the sundown closure.....really. Lock the gates and fine them each $1,000 per incident when the phantom security guards have to come to let them out. Problem solved.
This is going to not end well, similar to when access rights to the Delaware were taken away on River Road in Phillipsburg because the train company didn't want anyone trespassing on their property. Their property! You have one of the most majestic rivers in the state if not the country that should rightfully be accessible to the public and you have one corporation that occasionally uses the tracks and miraculously has the ability to deny those access points to anyone else who enjoys the great outdoors.
This is all about politicians/corporations/lawyers making decisions that are in the best interest of their personal agendas and not in the best interest of the public who need these areas to enjoy nature and combat mental illness that everyone agrees is so much needed these days post COVID. What better way is there to enjoy life than to be out on the water, fishing with family and friends, a nice hike in a park and getting out of the concrete world and spending a day simply enjoying nature that this beautiful impoundment affords us. All these important points aren't necessarily lost in making decisions like this for MCR, they're completely ignored by the bureaucrats making them.
