Watchung Reservation MTB Access - This Is It!!

Saw the lighted sign on way to work. Saw yesterday they had printed up full color fliers and posted them at park.
Don't think they could have designed, approved, printed and distributed those fliers all on Friday after the vote.
Which means .... if they started working on em before Thursday's vote....
IT WAS RIGGED
Our Gooberment at work.
 
So -Union County has FOUR marked units and an ATV in the Watchung Res-er-va-tion this weekend.

Sunday a child on his bike was struck by a car on Springfield Ave between Nomahegan and Dreyer's Farm three miles away in Cranford. On Monday, ISIS killed over 22 people in Manchester England.

Please tell me that the Freeholders can reconsider their allocation of resources.

Please tell me that they value our children and lives more than a bunch of NIMBY nut jobs.View attachment 52432 View attachment 52433 View attachment 52434
Well at least they are serious this time. All those bikes riding on dirt and rocks will lead to bigger crime, possibly a career criminal.
" Gotta nip this one in the bud Andy!"
 
Some quick and dirty info ...
Just to give you an idea what all this is costing us:



Wanco Mini Message Board Sign and Trailer, Solar and Battery Powered WVT3, Three Line$17594.00

(http://www.fleetsafety.com/wanco-emergency-message-signs-traffic-trailer-boards/) Similar to sign at Skytop. These can also go higher; same site had em for over 30k$.


As for the additional patrols N.J. police salaries rank highest in nation with median pay of $90,672 ...
www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/nj_police_salaries_rank_highes.html

As to the police cars themselves: “city of Fairfield purchased four Ford Police Interceptor all-wheel drive utility vehicles earlier this month at a price tag of $105,960.” These are not dissimilar to Union Co. police suvs. (http://www.journal-news.com/news/mo...sing-suvs-over-sedans/c3aQRxlU5Y5g6iAwwM6jEP/)


But of course the ultimate cost is the lack of continued trail access, and diversion of resources from actually protecting the public.
 
Well the sign is gone tonight

Yeah, well, I just found out that ISIS didn't actually declare peace, so the Union County police officers should be helping protect soft targets NOW, not wasting my tax payer dollars running around a Re-ser-va-tion. Pro tip=when you hear a bomb being tested in Elizabeth, you may want to run that lead down, aight?

Is this SF hard to figure out? Do you need my help? What would your mother think you should do? That usually clarifies tough decisions like this.

Let's review the math:

FOUR marked cars>MTB

ISIS terrorists {worse than} kids on bikes.

DUH!!!!!!


Did that help?

Hell some dude with an AK and dynamite in his shirt could be slow walking thru the woods and they'd still go after bikes instead.
Ironically, most of the cops would probably rather be protecting people but they are probably being told to do this instead.

More than likely a biker would have spotted the dude acting odd and and carrying dynomite and reported it. But, no those bikers are the problem....Ban them!

Unbelievable what do they think they are going to catch? This is an unreal waste of money. I bet the treehuggers don't care at all as long as they don't see Mountain bikes in the park> I don't understand the logic in all of this effort they will achieve nothing in the end.
 
Pro Tip:

Don't use Strava when riding bikes in the Wachtung Reservation.
That whole situation has to be illegal. If a cop doesn't catch me speeding in my car, he can't go to my house and give me a ticket for it. Why would bikes be any different?

I think I'm going to start smoking again in the enchanted forest, now that there's a distraction in the park....

The lunatic fringe opposition doesn't "get jokes", monitors these boards and take things out of context.

But, whatever...

@stilluf @Shorepoints

Any guidance here?

We have to be the adults in the room, not the guy who shows up in the carhardt tee shirt and gets thrown out of the Freeholders meeting.

We are Law Abiding Citizens.

Sorry for the sanctimonious town, but I am tired of hearing about the same posts from the MTB community for the last two years. I will buy you a beer next time. Give me a call for DL updates any time you want.DSCN0608.JPG

Hummm,
I got a ticket for disregarding an officer, he never got me because he was on foot and I was driving. He came to my house and left a ticket on my car.
