Two Rock County townships disagree on whether to allow ATV and UTV access on town roads.
The Town of Plymouth board voted unanimously this week to create an ordinance for off-road vehicles on streets, while the Town of Magnolia board voted against a similar proposal.
Plymouth Town Chairperson Don Bomkamp said their ordinance won’t go into effect until signs are posted on the street, which could take a few weeks.
Magnolia Town Chair Kurt Bartlett did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday night.
In the April election, Rock County voters in the Village of Orfordville and towns of Avon, Center, Plymouth and Union passed an advisory referendum in support of allowing ATVs and UTVs on the roads.
HealthNet and Community Health Systems began vaccinating people 65 and older last week, representatives said.
Both clinics offer services to low-income, underinsured and uninsured individuals. HealthNet is a free and charitable clinic. Community Health Systems is a federally qualified clinic.
HealthNet started vaccinating patients Jan. 27 and has so far vaccinated about 130 people, HealthNet CEO Ian Hedges said.
Community Health Systems started last week vaccinating its own patient population ages 65 and older, said Stephen Smith, chief operations officer, in an email to The Gazette.
Vaccinations at Community Health Systems have started on a limited basis but will be ramping up each week. The system hopes to offer vaccines daily within the next three to four weeks, Smith said.
