Richfield Township ORV Access Update
The past two weeks have been busy. This past weekend was particularly busy in town with the Memorial Day Holiday. We had a considerable number of ORV's utilizing the new access into town. ORV's were seen in number at our local Gas Stations, Restaurants, Hardwares, and other businesses.
With the increased ORV traffic, our township offices also received complaints of noise, dust, and speed. It is important that they also hear from the people that are pleased to have this access privilege and use it responsibly. Your input is important !!! Under the law, townships have the right to restrict roads approved by the county. Therefore, it is imperative that we police ourselves and follow the regulations for travel on the county roads. Let's not allow a few irresponsible riders to ruin it for the majority !! If we want to keep this access privilege, to ride our ORVs to the trail system rather than trailering them to a staging area, and access food & fuel in the St. Helen area, it is critical that we abide by the rules and control those that abuse it.
Please take a little time to email our County Commissioner and our Township officials letting them know providing ORV access was the right thing to do.
