We have been dealing with illegal ATVs and dirt bikes terrorizing our residents, disturbing our neighborhoods, and even damaging our parks for too long. I am in full support of the Providence Police Department, working to make our streets safer from these illegal and dangerous machines.

As the days become longer and spring around the corner, we have already begun to see large groups of riders on our streets. No neighborhood is immune from this, and we need to ensure that our public safety officials can act to end this dangerous behavior.

There have been videos of riders surrounding cars, doing stunts, weaving in and out of traffic. This behavior is not only dangerous for the rider but pedestrians and other motorists alike.

I encourage our neighbors to call the police if they see riders on the streets.
