The local MX track in Calgary Alberta, Canada needs support against a proposed roadway expansion.

For those who know the facility, please let the municipal government know what the track and facility mean to you and that you would not support the proposed roadway shutting down the facility. Simply scroll down to the interactive map in the link below and add your comment.

Please remember that any comments in support of the track are a reflection of the motocross community. Be respectful and civil. Well articulated messages are far harder to ignore than angry, antigovernment rants.

Man....not a great look for any of us that this has been here 4 hours and doesn't have a single response.

Great example of how our laziness and apathy lets us continue to lose riding areas.

Absolutely sucks, but I'm not surprised. They're doing it, even if we had 10,000 people sing the track's praises.

Both big cities in this province are out of control with their bloody transit and "mobility" schemes. 

I'll still fill it out anyway, though.

I'm relying on electric bikes to save our tracks.

Yah! More bike paths that nobody will use, especially in Canada! I live in San Diego and they have ruined parking and reduced lanes on several roads over the last few years, so that hardly anyone can have a designated bike lane to use.

There is a petition going around as well that would be great for people to sign! I have tried to post it here but get flagged for spam.

Added a positive comment, did what I could. Only takes a minute guys and girls!

And, even if you're not from Calgary. My comment included that many people travel to that track, it draws a lot of tourist traffic.

Thank you to all those who have submitted comments so far and a special shoutout to our boy Dean Wilson for putting it in his Instagram story - that guy is top notch. Comments are still open so please submit if you haven't already. Let's show the strength of the motocross community!

Bumping this one back into sight as January 12th is the last day for comments. Please take the two minutes and add your comments in support of the track and help fight to save a great facility. Thank you!
