Residents press board over late-night ATV runs; board to contact sheriff and ATV club
Summary
A resident reported repeated nighttime ATV traffic on a Class 4 road and the board discussed trail cameras, contacting the Orange County Sheriff, outreach to Brookfield and the ATV club, and possible physical measures such as gates or concrete blocks.
A resident told the board he is "sick and tired of ATVs going by our house flying at 11, 12, 1, 02:00 in the morning," describing repeated midnight and late-night runs that have persisted through the week. Several residents and board members described efforts to document activity with trail cameras and noted that by the time law enforcement arrives the vehicles are often gone.
Board members said they would talk to Orange County Sheriff's deputies, coordinate with Brookfield and the ATV club, gather trail-cam evidence to establish patterns, and explore options such as signage, targeted patrols or physical barriers on some roads. The board agreed to follow up with the sheriff and local ATV leadership to attempt enforcement and community-based solutions.
"I'm sick and tired of ATVs going by our house flying at 11, 12, 1, 02:00 in the morning," one resident told the board, urging immediate action. The board asked staff to contact the Orange County Sheriff and requested members gather any camera evidence for targeted enforcement.
