(KLZA)-- ATV’s, UTV’s are allowed to drive on city streets in Falls City and now a proposal to allow golf cars to be driven on city streets in Falls City is moving forward.
The City Council Monday night voted 7-0 to have the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to allow golf cars on city streets in the city limits of Falls City. Council Person Judy Murphy made the request, after being contacted by the son of a local citizen wanting to drive her golf cart a few blocks to church.
Police Chief Duane Armbruster suggested the Golf Car provision be written separately from the established ordinance allowing ATV’s and UTV’s to operate on city streets. Armbruster said state statute pretty well spells out what the ordinance will be, and noted there would be some differences from the current ordinance allowing ATV’s and UTV’s to be operated on city streets.
If approved golf cars cannot drive on state highways but can cross the highways and likely will not be allowed in the downtown business district.
The ordinance will need to be read and approved three times before golf cars will be allowed to be driven in town.
