Town of New Glarus Votes to Allow ATV, UTV Use on Local Roads
After a packed and closely watched town meeting at New Glarus High School, Town of New Glarus residents voted 116-90 in a nonbinding referendum supporting ATV and UTV access on town and county roads, followed by a 3-2 Town Board vote approving the measure.
