Resident complaint prompts council to follow up on ATV activity in Rec Park
Summary
Council members heard a resident's concern that ATVs are racing through Rec Park and discussed enforcement boundaries (trails and grass off-limits); members agreed to follow up and consider signage or enforcement coordination.
A council member relayed a resident's complaint that ATVs have been using Rec Park and said the resident told the police department they were "not supposed to be in the park." The council discussed where ATVs are permitted and who is responsible for enforcement.
"She said she called the police department, and they said they're not supposed to be in the park," said a committee member reporting the resident's concern. Other members clarified that ATVs "can be in the park" in some places but are not allowed on certain trails or on grass, and said they would follow up with enforcement and consider signage. One member said residents "flag them down and tell them" when they observe unsafe riding.
Council members asked staff to confirm which park the resident meant (identified as Rec Park) and to include the issue in upcoming reports so the council can decide whether signage or further enforcement action is needed.
