ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The proposed ordinance supplements existing state law to address growing safety concerns where bicycles, electric bicycles, motor-assisted scooters, personal electric mobility devices, pocket bikes, mini-motorbikes, and off-highway vehicles share streets, sidewalks, trails, and parks with pedestrians and motor vehicles. It establishes local regulations for safe operation around pedestrians, requirements for child operators, restrictions on certain devices in public places and special-event areas, and parental responsibility.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
