Ordinance 6446
ITEM 5.A.
Council Action: 2/22/2021
Description

Ordinance to amend Title 9 Traffic of the 2020 Municipal Code of Council Bluffs, Iowa, by amending Chapter 9.15 "All Terrain Vehicles". 

 

 

Background/Discussion

The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors recently adopted an ordinance that allowed for the travel of off road and all-terrain vehicles on county roadways.  To facilitate a seamless transition for users of these vehicles, the City is proposing to amend our current code to allow for the same travel of these vehicles within the city limits.  These proposed changes will allow for their operation, mandate certain minimum requirements for them to be roadworthy, and to prohibit use on certain roads and highways that can pose a danger to safety or are already prohibited from travel under Iowa state law.
Recommendation

It is recommended to approve the amended Ordinance.
