City Council in Mendota Decides to Allow Golf Carts on City Roads
In a significant move, the Mendota City Council has approved a new ordinance that permits the use of golf carts and non-highway vehicles like side-by-sides on city streets. This decision has transformed Mendota into a "golf cart friendly community."
Under the new regulation, driving a golf cart in Mendota requires adherence to certain guidelines. For instance, one must be at least 18 years old to legally operate a golf cart. An annual permit from the city is necessary, with a fee of $150 for the first year and $50 for subsequent years. It's also important to note that insurance is required for driving a golf cart in Mendota.
The use of ATVs, however, remains restricted under the approved ordinance. These vehicles are not allowed on city streets in Mendota. Furthermore, the new regulation does not extend to state routes, specifically Highway 34 and 52. The Mendota Police Department has asked for patience as they work through the implementation process of the new ordinance.
The city streets of Mendota are now open to golf carts and non-highway vehicles, but their operation must adhere to the rules set forth by the Mendota City Council or the local municipal traffic authority. It's crucial for all drivers to follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
This change in traffic regulations marks a new chapter for Mendota, making it easier and more enjoyable for residents and visitors to navigate the city. With the new ordinance in place, Mendota continues to grow and adapt to meet the needs of its community.
