  4. Should snow machines be used on green belts such as Hillcrest's which are frequently used by children and others?
  5. Would it be possible to have special trails only for snow machines along the green belts?
  6. StudentSnow machines frequent neighbourhood streets. What are your thoughts on this?
  7. Are you aware of any rules or laws that snow machine drivers must follow? Do you think there should be rules/ laws similar to drivers of cars and motor bikes? Such as age restrictions, speed limits, licensing, etc.
  8. Should there be laws for snow machines but not necessarily the same as other motor vehicles?
