Galesville council advances proposed ordinance to allow ATV, UTV use on city streets
Summary
The council voted unanimously to move forward a proposed ordinance that would allow ATVs and UTVs on all Galesville streets; the action was a motion to propose the ordinance, not final adoption.
The Galesville Common Council voted to advance a proposed ordinance that would permit all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-terrain vehicles (UTVs) on city streets.
Council member Dave Carlson introduced the motion and Jesse Swing seconded. The council recorded a unanimous vote (6-0) to move the proposed ordinance forward. The action authorizes the drafting or consideration of an ordinance; it did not adopt an ordinance that would immediately change the city code.
Council members did not discuss specifics such as speed, registration, insurance requirements or specific street exclusions during the motion. Further deliberation and a formal ordinance drafting process would be required before any change to traffic regulations takes effect.
The motion was carried during the regular meeting and will proceed through the council’s ordinance-review process.
