The comment period relating to maps and route designations for BLM Yuma Field Office's La Posa Travel Management Plan started February 7 and was extended through April 5, 2012. The public is encouraged to review the four alternatives of potential route designations (open/limited/closed) for over 1,700 inventoried roads, trails, drivable desert washes, and other linear features. The four different alternatives are briefly described as follows:

• Alternative A, the No Action Alternative, would not establish a designated route network and would continue existing travel management policies.

• Alternative B, the Access Alternative, proposes to establish a designated route network that maximizes motorized and non-motorized access across public lands. 

• Alternative C, the Proposed Alternative, proposes to establish a designated route network that is in between Alternatives B and D. 

• Alternative D, the Preservation Alternative, proposes to establish a designated route network that maximizes the protection of natural, cultural, and scenic resource values of the public lands.
