(KAIR)--The Atchison City Commission has approved an ordinance allowing the use of UTV's on city streets.
That happened Tuesday when the Commission met one day later than usual, due to Monday's Dr. Martin Luther King holiday.
The proposal to allow the use of the vehicles has long been pushed by resident Kim Bottorff who, following the Commission's decision, voiced her excitement on social media, crediting City of Atchison staff and officials, including Police Chief Mike Wilson and City Manager Mark Westhoff, saying the Commissioners and staff were "approachable to hearing our request and approving the ordinance."
The ordinance will take effect February 1. It requires, in part, that UTV operators be at least 18-years-old, must have insurance, and all standard operating equipment must be present on the vehicle, including turn signals. Operators will be required to follow all standard City of Atchison traffic rules.
