closed: Resolved #212707

Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: I’ve seen Olcott Park grow in terms of popularity and this year it exploded. There’s a problem with electric scooters and electric bikes roaring down the trails and around blind corners almost running over walkers. These kids are conservatively doing about 15 mph, and more likely about 20 mph. Please consider banning e-scooters and e-bikes on Olcott, Sherwood Oaks, and Jackson Creek trails. Otherwise, someone will most likely get hurt the way these kids are riding these things.

Thanks for this report. We have heard a number of complaints about eBikes and similar motorized vehicles lately and are working with City Council to try to update a local ordinance that will provide better guidance for regulating these devices, as the market has changed rapidly in the last 1-2 years. In the meantime, I recommend also contacting your City Council representative to let them know of your concern.
