At a recent meeting of the Boulder Junction Town board, the primary discussion revolved around opening town roads to ATV and UTV usage, a controversial topic throughout the year. Boulder Junction ATV club president Dennis Duke supported the proposal, citing increased tourism and resident usage, while acknowledging the need for compromise. A town survey revealed a 55% opposition to 45% in favor, with both sides disputing the survey’s validity. Safety and noise concerns were raised by homeowner Tom Basting Sr., who also noted that town road approval is a prerequisite for forest access. Both sides are urging the Town Board to make a decision on the formal ordinance.
