Terrorized by dirt bikers and
other users of off-road vehicles, a
group of residents near the Fama
Holdings Ltd.-owned Tod Inlet
property have appealed to Central
Saanich council for help.

The residents say the Tod Inlet
property is being damaged as
youths race bikes and off-road
vehicles through the bush.

Deep ruts are being gouged into
the ground and the entire site is
chumed-up mud dotted with beer
cans, one resident told Central
Saanich council.

Council members were also told

a

a
John Bruce

that a resident who attempted to
take down the license plate num-
bers of those driving on to the
property was verbally and physi-
cally threatened by six youths.

One resident said people living
in the area fear putting their name
to complaints because of such
harassment.

The narrow walking trails
through the natural shrubbery on
the site have been destroyed by the
all-terrain vehicles and motorcy-
cles, another neighbor reported.

Instead of walking paths, there is
a “highway of churned mud.”

Keep off-roaders from Tod Inlet property

Residents asked Central Saanich
council to block the Wallace Drive
entrance to the area with a rock

Central Saanich council
received the residents’ submission
and agreed to refer the issue to the
next police board meeting.

They also directed staff to take
whatever action is necessary and
approved by the property owner to
elimmate motor vehicle access to
