DANBY â The Danby ATV ordinance is dead. At least for now.
The Danby Select Board at its regular meeting
The meeting agenda originally had an item listed to âHear and Act on Planning Commission Report on ATVs.â
But that was pulled from the agenda without explanation as the meeting got started.
The Danby Planning Commission had spent weeks studying the issue, gathering input from a cross-section of town residents and seeking thoughts from other communities that have an ATV ordinance.
The Danby ordinance was expected to make some town roads open to ATV riding to allow riders to access trails from their homes, connect from trail to trail, and other uses.

DANBY â The Select Board asked the townâs Planning Commission to look into a proposed ATV ordinance and after several weeks of work the commission has its recommendation. Start over.
That was the unanimous decision by the Planning Commission at its May 6 meeting, following three consecutive weekly meetings and many dozens of comments gathered from town residents.
Danby Planning Commission chair Shelly Taylor said the consensus is the ordinance, as written, is a âno-go.â The findings of the commissionâs work has been returned to the Select Board with the suggestion that they start from scratch.
