Alamogordo officials have voted to allow the use of off-road vehicles on city streets.
The Alamogordo Daily News reports that city commissioners voted in favor of the change but it won't be official unless it is finalized at the Nov. 1 commission meeting.
Southwest Suzuki Kawasaki owner Tyler Johnson says many of his customers have asked about Alamogordo's law. He says he supports the change, explaining that it simplifies things for ATV users who need to go slightly down a paved road to access another dirt trail.
Johnson says the change might also help with tourism, pointing out that the practice has long been legal in other states, like Arizona.
