Council schedules first reading of ordinance to ban motorized bicycles and e-scooters on downtown sidewalks
Summary
Judiciary Committee reported Ordinance 25-16, an amendment to the city code to prohibit motorized bicycles and e-scooters from downtown sidewalks; the item will receive first reading at the next regular meeting.
Wilmington’s Judiciary Committee on Monday reported Ordinance 25-16, an amendment to the city code that adds motorized bicycles to the list of vehicles prohibited on downtown sidewalks alongside e-scooters.
Mr. Shlebaugh said the change clarifies earlier language that had added e-scooters but not motorized bicycles; the assistant law director reviewed the draft and indicated the language “encapsulates everything that we would possibly need.” Council indicated the ordinance will receive first reading at the next regular meeting.
No formal vote was recorded in the transcript; staff identified the item as returning for first reading during the council’s regular meeting calendar.
