The City Council decided on Monday to go along with a staff recommendation not to alter the restriction. There are also safety concerns about pedestrians and snowmobiles using the same sidewalk. Public Works Director Wes Anderson even explored the idea of putting a floating bridge in the channel for snowmobiles. In a letter to Belknap Snowmobile Club President Tyson McKenna, Fish and Game Department Conservation Officer Chris Brison expressed concerns with a floating bridge. Nobody from the public wanted to speak on the subject Monday, so the council decided to retain the existing policy.
