— for now A federal judge on Wednesday rejected another request from off-roading advocates to keep road open near MOAB
Wednesday when a federal judge decided that roads recently closed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) should remain that way.
“We are disappointed in the decision released today,” said Ben Burr, executive director of the off-road recreation advocacy nonprofit BlueRibbon Coalition, in a statement. “Our motion for preliminary injunction was a first step to keep these beloved trails open, and we will continue to press forward with our legal challenge to the decision to close these roads.”
In their plan, the BLM closed 317 miles of routes that were previously open to motorized use. These closures rankled off-roading enthusiasts, who claimed that the federal government blocked off some of the most popular off-roading routes in the area.
