Asbury City Council Gives First Round Approval to ATV & UTVs

The Asbury City Council has given first-round approval to an ordinance that would allow for the use of ATVs and UTVs within city limits. The council approved the ordinance’s first reading, 4-1, at its regular meeting Tuesday evening, with council member Russ Domeyer opposed. If approved after the second and third readings, the vehicles would be allowed on all city roads, with some stipulations. The council last year turned down a similar proposal, 3-2, but a report says the issue was revived when an Asbury resident approached council members in May with a petition of nearly 200 city residents in favor of allowing the vehicles in city limits.
