Illegal use of dirt bikes and atvs!!

On my way home from work yesterday I came across this!

5 off road (2 dirt bikes and 3 quads) barreling down East Street at top speed.
They blew through the light, causing oncoming traffic to screech to a stop as they continued to tear down the street at top speed.

I managed to take a picture as fast as I could.
What can be done about this???

  • Maybe best to use one of the City Hall meeting rooms and invite Alex Rhodeen. I believe he is GMK's Alderman.

    GMK, maybe you could bring others interested in tackling this problem.

  • You are not the main topic of anything. You are one of many law-breakers. I called you, we set up a meeting time in a place you chose, & I waited 30 minutes with no sign of you. I called you & you didn't answer.

  • I think bicycles should be registered to ride on the streets of CT.

    Why should taxpayers pay for bikeways?

    I think bicycles riders should buy their own places to ride.

    Get the point?

  • I have to agree, it seems the NHPD did something that worked, at least here in the Fair Haven/Quinnipiac area.

    I think it is time to close this issue since, after the NHPD unit was set up and many arrests were made, I haven't seen ATVs out (at least during the day).

    I hear them in my neighborhood at night, but have been reporting them as a separate issue and I think it is fairly specific to the public housing/illegal gambling in the area where I live.

    If you see ATVs, definitely you should come back to this thread and post here. Please click above and "Reopen" the issue if you think that this is a major problem citywide.

    Or if Pedro disagrees, he should reopen this immediately, since he created the issue.

    I'll definitely keep an eye out the next time the weather gets warm -- if I see ATVs terrorizing our neighborhoods again, I will reopen this issue and send it to the press.

  • Hey Smart One: Apparently, you're so smart you missed the last 20 years of law enforcement theory -- you know, the whole quality-of-life-crimes thing?

  • I would be excited to join this meeting as well.

    GMK, David will reach out to you today.

    I think that he can be a big help as the leader of Elm City Cycling and someone who has bridged the gap between city policy and independent culture forced to act illegally.
