Howland residents favor vehicle ban on public land

HOWLAND — Some township residents approve of a proposed resolution banning vehicles on Howland’s public land.

None of the handful of Howland residents voiced opposition to the resolution at a public hearing today at the administration building. The resolution, if passed, will fine people for using any type of motorized or nonmotorized vehicles on township-owned land.

“I think we’ve got a beautiful peace of land, and all-terrain vehicles will only destroy some of it,” one resident told trustees.

Township Law Director Jason Toth said the resolution, which received its second reading Wednesday, is clear in what it disallows.

“In terms of the resolution, it’s pretty self-explanatory,” said Toth, who explained that signs will be posted on the public lands for added clarity.
