ATV groups brief Waldo trustees on route rules; board takes no action on route ordinance
Summary
Representatives from Kettle Moraine ATV and the Wisconsin ATV Association told Waldo trustees that state rules set signage requirements and that towns pay sign costs; the board discussed but did not act on Ordinance 2025-01 to set UTV/ATV routes.
Representatives from the Kettle Moraine ATV Association and the Wisconsin ATV Association visited the Village of Waldo Board of Trustees on Jan. 13 to explain how state rules govern ATV and UTV routes and signage.
Tim Rohrer (Kettle Moraine ATV) and Randy Harden (Wisconsin ATV Association) told trustees the state sets sign requirements and that the municipality would be responsible for sign costs. They said ATVs and UTVs may be used on roadways where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or lower; Mill Street (Hwy 57) exceeds that speed and therefore would not be eligible for regular ATV/UTV use, though crossings to reach the other side of town would be permitted.
The board discussed signage obligations and specific roadway eligibility but took no action on Ordinance 2025-01, which would establish UTV/ATV routes and regulate operation. The minutes record questions from trustees about signage and route use but do not show a motion or vote on the ordinance.
Trustees asked for clarification about crossing rules and costs during the discussion; the presenters confirmed the municipality bears sign costs under state rules. No formal next steps or ordinance amendments were recorded in the minutes.
