A motion to allow ATVs on certain Winfield Township roads did not receive a second, so the resolution died on the table at Thursday night’s supervisors meeting.

Matt Klabnik, one of three Winfield Township supervisors, made the motion to approve the resolution.

He said about two dozen residents spoke on the subject during the public comment portion of the meeting, with about half being in favor and half opposed to the resolution.

He said many of those who opposed the resolution said enforcement would be difficult because the township does not have a police force.

“That is certainly valid when you have only state police coverage,” Klabnik said.
