I love how people think they just know everything, obviously you dont know one thing about the track. People like that have nothin better to do than just look for stuff to complain about. NO PROFIT IS BEING MADE, slick you act like this is a full blown track its just a private track used for training and riding for fun. I guess go ahead and ban farmers when they harvest cause their tractors make noise and dust right? If you cant build a track out in the COUNTRY not the CITY, whats the point of living in the country? Thats why the track wasnt built in the city. Last time I checked Adkins was in the country.

This track is used for private use only, on occasion there is a few of kids that come out and ride, but they are close friends. No money is collected at all, this track is used for training and to ride for fun. A water truck is used every single time a dirtbike is on the track, the only people who complain are old people who are retierd and have to much time on their hands. Stock exhaust are used so there isnt a sound ordinace what so ever, also there isnt riding going on all hours of the night, only during the day, so whats the big deal? Theres only 2 neighboors by the track, give it a break already.

To Slick and everybody else: Of course, the track was put in to make money. Don't allow yourself to think for one moment that all these elected officials, from Washington to Wilson County, are not in it for the money. The trick is that good people can make money and help society at the same time. Problem is, we don't have enough good people. We have jealous people who don't want anyone to have more than they do.

Slick, just blowing off some steam...used to have dignity in expressing being from SH some 35 years ago. Now its more of an embarassement. Take the time and visit thier website www.sainthedwigcity.com and look at the focus/intent (i.e. light, sign, subdivision ordinances). You can also only use one (1) refuse collector (i.e. not BFI, Allied, Waste Management, Tiger, etc.). Over the years, I've accumulated numerous tracts of land in SH from 2.1-4.88 acres. I will glady sell to you for 50% on the dollar at current market price. However, due to disclosure laws I must inform you that as I am currently grandfathered, "no one" not even my children, can build a home on these lots for they are less than 5 acres and the grandfathering only applies to me. My only option would be to build spec homes. Otherwise, the lots are useless to anything other than agriculture. I hope you see this side of the story a little clearer. Yours truly.

the point is tell the truth. in other words don't use the kids as an excuse, or make yourself out to be some do gooder, when the real reason you put the track up was to put money in your pocket. reasonable people can see through the smoke and mirror act.
but all this is moot because the track will soon be history.

So let me guess mr rabble, the fella that built this track is doing it only because he's a great human being, is a pillar of the community, and its the only noble thing to do to save our youth.
And here is another far fetched notion--if it weren't for the dirt bike track then all the St Hedwig kids are going to be strung out with needles in their arms...please give me a moment while i puke.....
my hunch is that the real reason "tony" the operator opened the track is because he gains financially in some way...right?

Please! Small town wanna be's : At least the kids are occupied and not out robbing homes, tagging structures, etc. In case no one has noticed, these 200+ acre tracts are farm land that has not produced much of anything in over 3 years. Another farmer is not going make that type of investment. And subdivisions are a thing of the past. Developers are focusing on distressed properties not new developments. There were over 1,200 foreclosed homes on the courthouse steps last month...this number should be surpassed this month. For individuals, getting funding for a new home is tougher than ever and persons are not wanting another debt load in this unpresidented economic era! Hey kids, since your getting kicked off your bikes...those 200 acre plots would make a good place for meth labs, marijana fields, etc., there is also no City Police in St. Hedwig either!

so now anyone can open a dirt bike track in a neighborhood when they see fit? you gotta be kidding. what next?
the residents must be heard in this matter. if the residents find the track a nuisance it should be shut down.
it seems overly bold and arrogant on the part of the track owner to have started this operation. certainly he knew the noise, at the least, would negatively affect others. he made a bad unilateral decision to open up a track. he has no grounds to now whine, play the victim, and cry foul.

I agree with everyone but willis. We are a country town and growth is a good thing. Subdivisions are right up the road and can not be stopped by Texas Law! That is the reason San Antonio does not have a plan, they can't tell people what to do with their land, cities can't have a plan! This is as bad as TXDot trying to take our property away from us! Children need places to play and stay out of trouble.

This is just ridiculous. I grew up in that area and heaven forbid that someone open up a track to keep kids of all ages occupied. Something to let kids focus on and stay out of trouble and you're going to take it away from them? Why don't you just tell them to water the track down a little to prevent dust, instead of just ripping it right out of their hands?! And the noise? What about all the loud trucks that drive by? Want to close the roads in ST. H down too? At least the noise is only 'bothersome' until 8pm... Look at the pros of having a track close by... It gives kids a hobby something that is very important... at least they're not running the streets causing trouble...

The communist have arrived... Everyone wants progress to stop right after they get theirs...

Your a city, be a city,, you must handle growth of all kinds. People have right to build subdivisions and you need to prepare for it. Otherwise get out of office and retire!!

Lets ban chickens, cars, trucks and anything else that makes noise.
