Mayor Evans to illegal ATV, dirt bike riders: Street legal or scrapyard ready
Mayor Malik D. Evans and members of his team today observed the disposal of more than 50 illegal ATVs and dirt bikes at the City Auto Impound Yard to emphasize the importance of investing in public safety to promote quality of life in Rochester’s neighborhoods.
“The former owners of these vehicles invested a lot of money into a pastime that doesn’t work on our streets,” Mayor Evans. “Because they didn’t use them according to the law, they will be turned into scrap metal. The choice is simple: Street legal, or scrapyard ready.”
Deadline approaching for ArtsBloom funding
Mayor Malik D. Evans announced a new round of funding for arts programming and art projects through the City’s ArtsBloom program. Local artists and small arts organizations are encouraged to submit their ideas for consideration.
