Citizen's Park and Recreation Advisory Committee - Nov 2, 2026
E-bikes have caused problems in parks this summer. The city has started an e-bike registration program, and a few bad actors have prompted complaints — including about overly bright new pickleball court lights at night.
City Council - Sep 15, 2026
Council passed new e-bike rules and a registration requirement after complaints about kids riding recklessly and damaging baseball fields. Members say enforcement is hard — kids leave before police arrive — so parents must hold kids accountable and residents should call police on unsafe riders.
City Council - Aug 4, 2026
New rules are coming: golf carts limited to 25-mph streets, e-bikes age-limited on sidewalks, class 3 e-bikes banned from sidewalks and paths, and police-issued registration stickers required before class 1 and 2 e-bikes can use multi-use paths. Council may raise the sidewalk e-bike age limit from 15 to 18.
City Council - Jun 2, 2026
Safety Committee is deciding how restrictive to be about e-bikes on sidewalks and multi-use paths — and whether to allow golf carts on city streets. Residents can weigh in with councilmembers.
