What will keep motorcycles, 4 wheel drivesÊand ATV from driving over the berm? Please describe what webbing geoblock is. Please consider putting in a smaller bridge that large vehicles could not even try to use. We ask that you consider closing and fully obliterating Forest Road 9897. Are you meeting the road density requirements in the Forest Plan for grizzly bears and other wildlife? Sincerely Michael Garrity Executive Director Alliance for the Wild Rockies P.O.
