“The government is starting to listen,” said Gary Clark of the Quad Squad, a group of OHV riders in southern Alberta who advocate for trail access. The Alberta government is releasing plans for two heavily used areas of the southern foothills that include restricting off-highway vehicles to designated trails. Off-highway riders will be restricted to designated and engineered loops designed for both fun and minimal impact. Garrety Schmidt of the Alberta Off-Highway Vehicle Association said none of the new trails was designed with rider input. She also called on the government to monitor the continued use and impact of the trail system.
