NEVADA - BLM Seeks Public Input on Roads and Trails During Travel
Mgmt Workshops
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Carson City District will be
collecting information on roads and trails to help implement a
comprehensive travel system for all modes of travel (motorized and
non-motorized) as part of the Resource Management Plan (RMP) effort.
Public workshops will be held to obtain input from the public and
other stakeholders and provide information on the travel management
planning process.
The workshop objectives are:
Provide an overview of how travel management and route designations
coincide with the RMP effort.
Obtain information on routes, uses, and conflicts in high-use areas
on BLM-administered lands.
Have participants identify existing access points and other issues
regarding travel on BLM-administered lands.
The workshops will be held:
Wednesday, October 10, 2012, from 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Input gathered during the workshops will help the BLM create a
comprehensive route inventory. This route inventory will form the
basis for a system of designated routes to guide all modes of travel
in the Carson City District. A range of route designation options will
be presented for public comment alongside the Draft RMP, currently
scheduled to be released in spring 2014.
