GORHAM â What appeared to the selectmen to be a simple adjustment that would roll back the clock some five years during the six warmer weather months at the state-owned parking lot on Route 2 has turned out to be more complicated than anticipated.
Last fall, the board asked the state to stop allowing OHRVs to be loaded or unloaded from trailers or pickup trucks at the state-owned parking lot on Route 2 (Lancaster Road) between May 23 and Nov. 30.
After the state had developed a new alternative OHRV parking lot off Route 16 (North Main Street), north of the Depot Restaurant, this looked like an easy-peasy way to rid that neighborhood of the noise and dust that ATVs create. Access to the OHRV trail network from the new Route 16 parking lot is located adjacent to the black railroad trestle.
