Work Session for Proposed ATV/UTV Routes in the City of Platteville Scheduled for July 24

On Tuesday, July 24, the Platteville Common Council will hold a work session to gather more community input on proposed ATV/UTV routes in Platteville. Community members are invited to share their feedback at the meeting starting at 7:30 p.m. or immediately following the regular Council meeting (whichever is later) in the Council Chambers at 75 North Bonson Street.

The proposed ordinance would allow ATV/UTV use on selected city streets from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. from March 16 to November 30. ATV/UTV drivers would be required to have a valid driver’s license and liability insurance. Open intoxicants would not be permitted.

Consideration of the matter by the Common Council follows an ATV/UTV Route Open House on June 11 at the Platteville High School and a community-wide survey which garnered over 270 responses. The proposed ordinance and route map, as well as frequently asked questions, can be found below. The Common Council is expected to vote on the proposed ordinance at their August 14 meeting.
