GREEN RIVER — After receiving multiple resident complaints of motorcycles and ATV’s using the Greenbelt, the City of Green River is reminding residents that motorized vehicles are not allowed on the Greenbelt.
All entries onto the Greenbelt have signage warning of no vehicle access, however drivers are still using it, according to reports from residents.
The Greenbelt is for walkers, joggers, pedal bikes and horses. The city plans to add more signage and Green River Police Chief Tom Jarvie says his department will beef up patrolling the Greenbelt. Jarvie said those who violate the rule can be cited. He says since increasing the patrol of the area, several have been caught violating the rule.
Only licensed and registered vehicles can access city streets, and the Greenbelt is not considered a street.
“Motorized vehicles on the Greenbelt is not only against the law, but is a major safety concern for other users,” Jarvie said.
