Judge affirms Camp Bay Road vacation

A First District Court judge has affirmed Bonner County commissioners' vacation of Camp Bay Road. The ruling could potentially put an end to a several-year debate over public access to Lake Pend Oreille via Camp Bay Road. In the 18-page ruling, District Judge Cynthia Meyer found the BOCC's vacation of the road met Idaho Code, that due process was not violated, and there was insufficient evidence to show bias on the board's part. Meyer also found the board's decision was in the public's interest because it guarantees public access to the lake on a pathway being created by M3 ID Camp Bay LLC.
