Klickitat County Working On Allowing ATV’s On Rural Roads

The Klickitat County Commission is closing in on having a public hearing to discuss allowing ATV’s to be used on some rural roads.  Commissioner Rex Johnston says they have been examining the possibility for some time, noting a number of different agencies have been involved in developing a potential ordinance, including public works, the Sheriff’s office, and the prosecuting attorney’s office.  The ATV use would primarily be on roads with a 35 mile per hour speed limit or less.  Johnston is unsure when hearings will take place, adding the plan is to hold one on both sides of the county.
