Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse officials want to install high fines and fees aimed at cracking down on illegal ATVs and dirt bikes speeding through the city’s parks and neighborhoods.
City lawyers are drafting a new ordinance that would let police charge a vehicle owner up to $2,650 to retrieve an impounded ATV or dirt bike. The Common Council would need to approve that fee.
