Motion would let city parks designate paths where bicycles are allowed
City law now says only where biking in parks is banned; the proposed change would spell out permitted paths and set speed limits.
City park rules would be rewritten to allow bicycles and electric bikes on Class I bikeways and other paths approved by the Recreation and Parks commissioners, with possible speed limits or dismount requirements. Councilmember Nithya Raman asks the City Attorney and the Department of Recreation and Parks to draft the ordinance.
What happens next
City Attorney, with Recreation and Parks, to prepare and present an ordinance
