(AP) — Officials in Gering are considering allowing the use of golf carts on some city streets.

The northwest Nebraska city could let people drive carts on some streets near golf courses.

The issue came up after the state Legislature last year gave cities the power to allow golf carts on streets that run alongside golf courses. Operators must have insurance to drive on streets.

The Gering City Council will consider the proposal Monday night.

A council recreation committee has recommended approval of the golf cart change.
