Tagless Golf Cart Owners Alert:
You are being recorded, reported if you drive on municipal/public roads

Local resident Joe Safford is on a one-man campaign to get illegal golf carts off public roads. Golf carts can legally be operated on private property but must be licensed, road worthy, and operators wearing seat belts in order to operate on low speed public roads. Mr. Safford, a Walker Road resident, has serious safety concerns particularly evolving around unlicensed and underage drivers operating golf carts on Walker and Euclid Roads, and the Greenway along Silver Lake, even after 10 pm. It was noted that the Greenway is the private property of the Silver Lake Institute and not located in the Village of Perry.

Mr. Safford has been before the Perry Village Board before and appeared again on Thursday, August 17, 2020. His previous concern was over garden tractors being operating on public roads. Earlier in August, Mr. Safford went before the Town of Castile's Board and said his next stop is County Sheriff Greg Rudolph.

Mr. Safford brought pictures with him of violations that backed up his claims. He said he also receives information from other Walker Road cameras. Village Mayor Hauser agreed with Mr. Safford and told those present, "If you see something, say something" because often there is only one officer on duty. 

No new legislation was sought or encouraged but simply obedience to the current laws. It should be noted that Camp Road, Chapman Road, Lakeside Road, and Perry Avenue are public roads. Lakeview Avenue which runs along the length of the Greenway is a private road of the Silver Lake Institute.
