Ind. Law - More on golf carts in Greene County; Bainbridge to ban ATVs but allow golf carts
Now that the Greene County Daily World has run two recent stories (here and here) on the use of golf carts on public roads in Worthington and Bloomfield, the Bloomfield Free Press is offering a "completely unscientific survey" of residents' thoughts on the issue.
And in a story from the Greencastle Banner Graphic, Michael Zennie reports:
The Bainbridge Town Council reversed a previous decision to follow county ATV guidelines Wednesday and moved forward on a crafting its own ordinance on the subject.When Town Marshall Rodney Fenwick asked the board for guidance in policing ATVs on Bainbridge roadways, members ultimately decided that Fenwick should enforce the existing state law, which bans their use, as well as all unlicensed vehicles, on streets.
However, they asked Fenwick and town attorney Laurie Hardwick to draft an ordinance that would ban four-wheelers but still allow smaller vehicles like golf carts and lawnmowers.
However, until such a resolution is passed, all such modes of transportation are illegal on town roads, Hardwick said.
