Mount Lebanon introduces ordinance to regulate e-bikes in municipal parks
Summary
Commissioner Izzo introduced ordinance bill 6-26 to regulate e-bike use on municipal parks/property — including a 15 mph speed limit, helmet rule, pedestrian-yield requirement, pathway-only rule and parental-responsibility provision — and set a public hearing for July 28.
Commissioner Izzo introduced ordinance bill 6-26 at the July 14 meeting to amend park rules regulating the operation of e-bikes on municipal parks and property. She said the proposed ordinance would impose a 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes in parks, require helmets, require operators to yield to pedestrians, require e-bikes to remain on designated pathways, and include a parental-responsibility provision.
Izzo moved to introduce the ordinance and the commission scheduled a public hearing for July 28, 2026. The meeting record does not show public testimony on the ordinance at the July 14 meeting.
Why it matters: The ordinance would set specific operational standards for e-bikes on municipal property and give the commission an enforcement framework for parks; the public hearing will be the next opportunity for resident comment.
