The scale of this response confirms the need to prioritize a professional route researcher. I am currently drafting a formal request for the Commissioners to review these findings during our next scheduled meeting.

I do not support these closures. These routes have been used for generations and would have a negative impact on the economics of the local communities.
Keep our public lands open to the general public. Denying access to our public lands places a burden upon the elderly, the handicaped and others who wish to use these lands for ATV use, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and sight seeing. Keep access to our public lands open.
Motorized recreation is vital to the county and surrounding communities! The BLM should step up and manage lands for multiple uses instead of closing problem areas!
Utah has 12,000 RS 2477 Roads under litigation with the Federal Gov't and has reopened many routes with it. We have an example lets follow it.
Lets keep our public lands open. The idea that's it's expensive to keep the land open is a myth. They're dirt trails and regular riding on them is all that's needed. These trails have been open for multiple generations since they were originally mining and logging roads. There is plenty of land in Colorado for us all to use unless the US Government keeps closing it up.
We need to keep the trails open so that we all have access to the beauty.
keep our trails open

Closure is not management. Do your jobs. The BLM works for the American Tax payer to manage the American Tax payer's public lands.
