A request to add a town road in one of Minocqua’s business districts for local ATV access was a bit too much for the Minocqua Town Board.
The board Tuesday turned down the request by the Lakeland Area ATV Club to add a portion of Blumenstein Road to the collection of town roads that ATV/UTV owners who live along them can use.
The portion of Blumenstein under consideration was from the curve just north of Walmart south through the stoplights and past the Northwoods Wildlife Center to where it dead-ends.
“This is, as you know, probably our second busiest business districts in town,” town chairman Mark Hartzheim said of that Highway 70 stretch. He opposed the addition. “We have to draw the line somewhere.”
