During the New Milford Borough Council meeting held on September 3rd, Gerald Washburn, one of the residents stated the ATV’s have been out of control on Church Street.  Mr. Washburn said they are traveling approximately 50 mph and not stopping at any of the posted stop signs.  President Ken Carey asked what time of day this was happening and Mr. Washburn replied around 8:30 pm.  VP Larry White said an option would be to have the police patrol around that time, but another member of Council stated they tried to do that before. The ATV riders are not only on Church Street they have been spotted throughout the Borough, and have been increasingly multiplying in number. Speed bumps were also discussed, but there was an issue that they couldn’t remember regarding that option. President Carey said he agreed there is a problem, and the traffic needs to be slowed down.  The issue will be reviewed further with the help of the Borough’s solicitor.
