Two speak against ‘unnecessarily punitive’ proposal targeting ATV, dirt bike riders | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Shares0 SCHENECTADY – Two city residents spoke in opposition of a proposal that would target off-road motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles used on city streets and parks. Monday night’s public hearing by the City Council took up the urban phenomenon of riding unregistered ATVs and dirt bikes in public, a proposal that would mirror a local law recently put in place in Albany. Schenectady’s existing law states that ATVs can’t be driven on any public street, park or land. The offense is punishable by a fine up to $500, imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both.
