Washington Valley trail closures-THIS COULD BE BAD!!!

Signed. I don’t have social media besides Strava so will share there.

Maybe the police should get some bikes and patrol.

I was there about 10 days before the swimmer drowned. As I was leaving the park there was a Somerset County Park Ranger in the parking lot. I told her kids were swimming illegally in the park. She said that's beyond her pay grade; instead she was there to "investigate" a complaint of someone having a dog off of a leash.

Unbelievable.

If they and BPD simply enforced the law the problem would be solved. Closing the park and eliminating the resource because they're apparently to lazy to do so in an abomination.

Email addresses for Bridgewater's elected leaders can be found here. Perhaps it'd be helpful to ask our government representatives to speak on behalf of their constituents on Wednesday.

Signed on Saturday around number 257 and the goal was to get to 500. Now the link to sign the petition indicates 1855 have signed and the goal is 2,500.. So it just keeps going up!

Is this just more of what happened in High Bridge? Property owners not wanting it in their backyard?

Also... why list urinating as an issue? Who here has not taken a pee in the woods?

Like it or not, it's not legal...

So.. you don’t?

 

[jimicoltrane]

So.. you don’t?

I use the park 3-4 times per week with my dog. She pees. I hold it in for the hour. I'm a grown up.

My suggestion for those who can't is to do it Indurain style: in your shorts while on the bike.

Nobody wants underage drinking, partying, using the woods as a toilet, jumping off cliffs and dam structures and leaving behind a steady supply of garbage in their back yard or park. This is a recipe for disaster...oh and someone did die in the reservoir.

The random urination while using a trail is not the issue. The issue is 30 people drinking in a particular area and relieving themselves in said area.

Are we gonna stand for this? NO. WHOS WITH ME!

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor"... sorry I couldn't let that one go...
