Those WATVA folk call us "antis", and seem to have a special axe to grind against us bikies. It appears in this case that the concerns of the ATV crowd that bicyclists don't pay their way is unfounded: >From the WATVA site, a response from the parks manager on "who is responsible for the clean-up": Thank you for contacting Milwaukee County Parks. The event organizers will have the responsibility to restore the turf next spring. My Deputy Regional Manager will evaluate the turf once the snow melts in spring, and organizers will be paying for the restoration.
If there is anything else that I can help you with, please feel free to contact me.
