ATV/UTV Notice

Posted on by

Dear Township Resident,
Members of the Quad Country Runners ATV/UTV Club have petitioned the Shields Town Board to pass an ordinance to allow the usage of ATV/UTV vehicles on some town roads. The roads being requested are: Garden Rd, Long Rd, Provimi Rd, Quarry Rd, Rich Rd, Walton Rd, Middle Rd, Barry Rd. They are also requesting the Dodge County Board to allow Hwy QQ. Currently, it is illegal to run these vehicles on town or county roads. However per state statutes, the Town Board does have authority to allow via ordinance. As this will have direct impact upon the residents of the Town of Shields, the Board is very interested in your input. We will place this on the April 9, 2018 Town Board Monthly Meeting agenda, 7pm at the Emmet Town Hall. We will listen to public input, or correspondence may be directed to clerk.townofshields@yahoo.com, or mailed to the Town of Shields at N1662 Wood Road, Watertown, WI 53098.
