County board approves ATV/UTV route designations
Summary
The Sawyer County Board approved designated ATV and UTV routes on May 15 following a motion to adopt the routes as presented. The action formalizes route designations discussed earlier by highway and public works staff.
The Sawyer County Board of Supervisors voted on May 15 to approve designated ATV and UTV routes for county highways.
A supervisor moved to approve the ATV/UTV reroutes “as designated,” and the motion was seconded and passed with the chair announcing the motion carried. The change implements route designations discussed at the Public Works and Highway department level; a highway representative had previously addressed the board and invited supervisors to take a road tour to view ongoing highway projects.
Why it matters: the county has opened many of its county highways to ATV/UTV use in recent years, and formal route designations clarify where motorized recreational vehicles may travel and support local tourism and user safety.
Next steps: the approved designations will be implemented by highway staff and noticed to towns and users according to standard routing procedures.
