Ashburn to try to allow UTVs on city streets

On a split vote, The Ashburn City Council changed the golf cart ordinance to allow UTVs, also known as side-by-sides, on City streets.

Councilmen Corey Jordan and John Burgess voted yes. Councilmen Jonathan Perry and Sheldon Smith voted no.

On a roll-call vote, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Pierce voted to break the tie in favor of passage.

Whether the change stays on the books remains to be seen.

Can the City pass a law allowing these off-road vehicles on City streets? That was discussed.
