Segway to the Marsh

“The council approved the Segway tours in concept,” Stevens said. “Now we’re going to various groups and committees to determine routes. There are no routes that have been approved yet.”

O’Connor said if people really don’t want Segways on the marsh trails, then he won’t send tours there.

“I’d love to hear what trails they are concerned about,” he said. “And I don’t think the skinnier trails in the marsh would be appropriate for this. And I told the City that only the dirt roads in the forest would be appropriate.”

O’Connor and city officials will be at the next Friends of the Arcata Marsh board meeting, on Oct. 8, to talk about the proposed Segway tours and listen to people’s concerns.

Yet another wonderful example of how NON-progressive Acrata really is.
