The city of Woodstock could become the second government in Cherokee County to strengthen its rules on all-terrain vehicles.

Tonight, the Woodstock City Council will be asked to consider adopting an ATV ordinance similar to one approved by the County Commission last month.

The commission’s ordinance calls for a fine of as much as $1,000 for ATV drivers who ride on public lands and roads. It’s meant to address complaints about ATV riding trails around Lake Allatoona.

A draft ordinance would give police enforcement powers in the lake area, as well as a system of trails the city is developing.

"We can't continue to utilize the Black Hills in the fashion we have, particularly in the past 10 years. Just because the hill is there doesn't mean we need to climb it and produce another trail. Those ruts are there for years."
