ATV Routes

Many folks in our town, like other rural small towns, have ATV's. Its seems there has been some strict enforcement by the elite woods cops about riding ATV on back town roads, with a number of our residents receiving summons for exceeding the distance allowed to travel. At the suggestion of the law enforcement and a number of residents, we find that the town selectboard can open roads and call them "ATV routes". This allows ATV's to travel the extreme right side of the road and obey all traffic laws. There will be a petition out around town asking the board to consider opening most all town roads to become ATV routes. This is good for business, travel, recreation and exploring. Yes I am well aware of the few individuals we have that are already traveling the road at a speed that is not good, but even if the routes are not openned these folks will be doing, so why should be penalize all the parties because of a few. This will actually help enforcement. Route 9 will not be one of the roads suggested to be a route.
