Riding Your ATV Unlawfully Could Leave You With An Empty Wallet
Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri is proposing an ordinance to combat the illegal use of ATV’s in the City.
The Mayor’s proposed ordinance would impose a fine of $500 for anyone illegally operating an ATV within City limits, along with confiscation of the ATV.
In addition to the fine, the owner must reimburse the City for the towing expense. And the owner would also have to pay $2,500 to get the vehicle back.
The proposed legislation is in response to dozens of complaints by residents in all areas of the City of illegal ATV use.
