I have a question: How many people a year stop at the wayside on the Manitowish River on their way to somewhere else? Waysides, even when not far from a highway, tend to be little islands of calm on a long trip, or a place for people who can't go far from their cars to enjoy a bit of the northwoods. Waysides are ambassadors, in a sense, to the traveling public.
If "interfering with other user groups" means anything, won't building an ATV bridge at at a wayside constitute significant disruption to a user group? ATV supporters say "it doesn't matter, there is a road there anyway", but the road is on one side of the wayside. You will be taking away any last vestige of peace the wayside can offer.
