Proposal on unlicensed vehicles in Villa Grove nixed

VILLA GROVE – Instead of writing a new city ordinance to ban unlicensed vehicles on the streets of Villa Grove, the city council decided Monday to try to work with the police department to do a better job of enforcing state laws already on the books.

The council also is urging citizens who witness illegal use of motorized vehicles, such as dirt bikes, go-carts and all-terrain vehicles to file an official complaint with the police department.
