You mention tax paying citizens but you fail to realize that no one is paying taxes on that property but the land owner. They also have to insure that land. What would happen if someone was hurt on that access? The land owner would be taken to court and sued. Why should they allow others to use it? I understand that it has been an access point for a very long time, but the only way that I as a land owner would allow for other people to use my land for their personal use would be to sell it to the local government and have the responsibility and accountability for others removed from my shoulders.
