The cardinal will be federal law passed shortly after the Civil War allowed counties to retain control over traditional thoroughfares across federal land. But the counties and Bureau of Land Management have clashed over how to define a traditional thoroughfare. There are a number of trails the BLM does not classify as roads and has closed to travel. Rural Utah resi. dents say the primitive paths are vital to their livelihoods in ranching or mining. "These roads are the veins and arteries of a county's economic cardiovascular system," said San Juan Commissioner County William Redd. "Kill them and you kill the counties." Mike Reberg, spokesman for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, said talking in such" dire terms distorts the issue. "These are not roads. These are cow trails and double-tracwagon tracks that lead to nowhere", he said. "For people to claim a cow trail is essential for their livelihood is just crazy." Reberg said the real motivation is to prevent the land from being designated as federally protected wilderness. IVmialify as wilderness, theland cannot have any recognized roads crossing it. And, since wilderness can only be set aside in 5,000-acrchunks, having enough cattle tracks established as roads would remove vast tracts of wilderness from consideration. "The lawsuit in general is a large taxpayer drain designed to thwart efforts to k e - preserve federal lands as wilderness," Reberg said. Leavitt said he has tried for years to negotiate a resolution to the road issuebut it became obvious the negotiations would .be fruitless and it was time to bring in a judge to resolve the question. "I always take the position that if we can avoid a lawsuit, let's do it," said Sen. Bob Bennett, who action. state's the supported "In this case negotiation has not worked and it shows no sign of working." Leavitt said the first suit will include those roads deemed most important to the county's livelihood and most in danger of disappearing, then subsequent suits will be filed on other roads. The governor has said the state will litigate every one of the estimated 5,000 roads in dispute, but he expects that initial court rulings will provide guidance and allow many of the disagreements to be solved without going to court. "We are going to win some and lose some, but we're going to get certainty," Leavitt said. Without the certainty, the rural counties can't flourish in the 21st pentury, he said.
