Motorcycles will continue to be allowed in Raleigh resort

GLADE SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) - The state Supreme Court has refused to get involved in an attempt to keep motorcycles out of Glade Springs, a gated resort community in Raleigh County.

Earlier this month, justices unanimously refused to hear an appeal filed by attorney Warren Thornhill the Third. Thornhill had sued EMCO Glade Springs Hospitality in April 2005 on his own behalf and also on behalf of several other property owners. The lawsuit came in the wake of an announcement that motorcycles would no longer be prohibited from traveling a two-mile portion of the resort's main road.

The property owners pointed out that motorcycles hadn't been allowed in the development for more than 30 years.

In February, Raleigh County Circuit Judge Robert Burnside ruled that residents and resort managers had misunderstood the resort's rules for decades. Based on his review, the judge said motorcycle restrictions in Glade Spring's bylaws only involved off-road use.

Since Burnside's ruling, motorcycles have been allowed anywhere in Glade Springs.
