VILLA GROVE – Supporters of the private dirt bike track in Villa Grove did not have enough votes on the city council Monday to keep the track in operation nor rezone the property.
The dirt bike track has been a source of controversy in Villa Grove all summer since residents in the neighborhood near the track complained about noise and increased traffic. Brad and Nichelle Drews, who own the property, and their supporters argued that the hours of operation were limited to keep the noise down and said the track kept young people off the streets.
