West Paris voters unanimously rejected at Saturday’s annual Town Meeting a proposal to allow ATVs to travel on the roads for five months during the summer and fall. While a few of the voters in attendance thought the ATV group only wanted access to roads to travel from one trail to another, most pointed out that the wording of the article did not make that distinction. One resident was concerned with potential liability issues in the event of a crash on town roads. Another said young teens without driver’s licenses would be permitted to drive ATVs on local roads if the article passed as written. No one from the ATV riding group was at the meeting.
