Off-Highway Vehicles and Golf Carts in Town
1) City policy: Golf Carts can be driven on city streets from the owner’s home to the golf course via the shortest route. Do not ride on the boulevards or private property including the city parks. Golf Carts must not be driven on Langer Avenue other than to cross the railroad tracks or for perpendicular crossing of the road.

Alley
The City of Casselton will not maintain alleys except by a petition signed by all adjacent landowners to blade or spread gravel. If additional gravel is needed it must be purchased and delivered to the alley at the expense of the landowner/s.
The City of Casselton will clear snow from the alleys.
As the motor grader or loader runs through the alley, rocks, gravel and/or snow will most likely be pushed out and onto what the landowner considers their yard. Encroaching trees or plants may be damaged by the equipment. Trees and shrubs need to be trimmed to allow 12 foot wide and 12-foot high access.
