The Spring Green Ordinance Committee met June 2, 2026, to discuss proposed amendments to Ordinance 180, the village's rules on bicycles and play vehicles. Committee members favored referencing the applicable state statute while listing exceptions for situations unique to the village and asked staff to prepare clearer definitions for review at a future meeting.
During discussion, Eugene Schulz suggested a "separation of adult use versus kids' use of bicycles and play vehicles," proposing the ordinance distinguish requirements or restrictions by age group.
