WINFIELD TWP — Roads in Winfield Township could become a little more crowded depending on an upcoming vote.

The Winfield Township supervisors may decide at their Jan. 27 meeting whether to allow all-terrain vehicles to travel on certain township roads.

“We’ve been discussing it since September. I hope it comes up on Jan. 27,” Supervisor Matt Klabnik said.

He said a lack of a quorum prevented the board from taking action on the proposal before now.

According to Klabnik, township residents have approached him about permitting ATVs to travel on township roads.

“It would only be on certain township roads,” said Klabnik, saying high-traffic, high-speed roads such as Marwood and Bear Creek roads would remain off-limits to all-terrain vehicles.
