Council to explore ATV/UTV and golf-cart rules after review of neighboring policy
Summary
Police Chief Eric Carlson shared Carbondale's approach to regulating ATVs/UTVs (treating them as automobiles) and the council directed staff to work toward a public forum to solicit resident input on local rules.
Police Chief Eric Carlson told the council he contacted Carbondale for sample ATV/UTV/golf-cart regulations; Carbondale treats those vehicles similarly to automobiles.
