Letter: Here's a solution to ATV problem for city and state

There is a way to give ATV riders a place to ride, allow the state to fulfill its promise to build an ATV course and, at the same time, avoid relocating an ATV course closer to residential neighborhoods.

Problem: ATVers want a place to ride. The state has committed to building a track, but cannot find a location. Millville, in its contract with the New Jersey Motorsports Park, has agreed to locate an ATV course in the city. The Motorsports Park cannot afford to buy the ground set aside for that purpose. The neighbors don't want the ATV course moved closer to them.

Solution: The city sells to the state the few acres required for an ATV course. The Motorsports Park, if truly interested in giving ATV enthusiasts a place to ride, agrees to release a part of its 200-acre option for the land where it intended to build an ATV course. It will only require a small portion of the 200 acres and will not detract from the racetrack's long-term plans.

Result: ATV riders get a place to ride. The state fulfills its promise. The city gets paid for the land. More noise is not moved closer to residential neighborhoods. The Motorsports Park still has its option on most of the land.
