The comment period on a proposal that would re-shape the way the U.S. Forest Service regulates off-road riding on the Oregon Dunes has been extended for a second time. Public input on the designation of specific off-highway vehicle routes will now be accepted through September First. Forest Service spokesperson Viva Worthington says they are at the beginning of the process with “no decision made yet”. Opponents of the proposal, mainly off-road riders and area businesses, claim that nearly two-thirds of the trails currently used by ATVers would be off limits. Worthington says the proposed action would increase riding areas. Comments and questions can be posed on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area website, or at the ODNRA office in Reedsport.
