Alert. Greetings Sylmar. We have noticed the riders of off-road motorcyclists and ATVs in the Sylmar area are becoming more problematic. We know they off-road in the hills and basin near Mission College, and one major corridor they travel on is Eldridge Av. They of course are NOT street-legal, and their riding groups have escalated their recklessness. I want to know who these individuals are, so we can have a discussion.
I'm asking for the public's help in locating some of these individuals. Please reach out to me - WHICH WILL STAY COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL - and advise me if you know where any of them live. If you see them regularly drive to, park at, or frequent a specific address, please let me know. All I need is an address. I need something more specific than simply seeing them drive on a certain street. If you have any details that you think could lead me to a specific address and/or person, reach out to me.
This problem is growing larger, and we need to get ahead of their carelessness. Please share this with your neighbors. I ask that you reach out to me via EMAIL, or my CELL PHONE. I prefer those means of communication rather than direct messaging me on this app. I'll include them below. Again, your communications with me will remain confidential.
Lastly, if you are reading this and you ride your off-road motorcycle or ATV on the streets, I strongly suggest you stop. You now have all of our attention.
