River Green Becomes First Approved PTV District In Canton

CANTON, GA — The Canton City Council found that residents of certain neighborhoods and certain public streets located within the city limits had a desire that personal transportation vehicles, or PTV, be allowed to be driven with regular vehicle traffic. Consideration was taken, and an approval process and regulations were created.

Neighborhoods considering a PTV District must abide by the following:

• Submit request to city to develop a PTV District
• Meet requirements of regulations
• Once the request is verified, a 30-day public input period begins
• Public hearing held before city council after 30-day public input
• Then the city council makes the decision to create the district or deny the request

If approved, those residents of the PTV District will submit a PTV application, pay a fee and be issued a decal to place on the PTV.

River Green completed the process and became the first PTV District approved in the city. Other PTV Districts are currently being considered, including the Towne Mill Community Association which filed a request to create a Personal Transportation Vehicle District within their development. A 30-day public input period began on March 1. Comments may be submitted to the City of Canton by email at comments@cantonga.gov. Following the 30-day public input period, a public hearing will be conducted at the City of Canton Council meeting held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 1 in the city hall auditorium.
