The Select Board on Monday launched a subcommittee to tackle all-terrain vehicles

WATERFORD — The Select Board on Monday launched a subcommittee to tackle all-terrain vehicles. The six-member subcommittee will evaluate the existing ATV rules and proposed changes, and its findings will be submitted for Select Board consideration and possible Town Meeting action. The subcommittee was formed after Town Meeting in March approved a non-binding petition article that asked the Select Board to amend the ordinance to allow ATVs on town roads, with restrictions on time, place, and manner of operation. Currently, ATVs travel on town-maintained roads in defiance of a municipal ordinance passed in 2020 that bans the practice. The subcommittee will consist of two Select Board members and at least four residents, and held it’s organizational meeting Thursday.
