We, the people of Bonavista, NL who own and operate ATV’s and other off-road vehicles, would like our Town Council to consider allowing the use of ATV’s on municipal roads, on a one-year trial basis. If this new bylaw is passed, it could improve the safety of ATV riders and vehicles, by reducing the speed of travel for fear of being fined, or having off-road vehicles confiscated by the RCMP. It would also make it easier for the residents to access many of our natural trails, and getting from Point A to Point B more safe. With proper safety equipment, responsibility and precautions, ATV owners would have access to use roads the same as motorcycles, cars, trucks etc. All riders would wear proper helmets, have their ATV’s insured & registered, follow the same rules of the roads and must be of legal age to operate an ATV. If you would like to see ATV friendly roads in our town, please sign this petition form provided.
Ridiculous that we have to go through this. Just let us use the roads to get to the trails. Everyone I know is already insured and registered anyway. Stop making it hard for people to enjoy the outdoors.

Bonavista needs to get with the times. Other towns have done it and it works fine. Just keep it safe and let people actually use their machines.
