Ordinance Committee reviews proposed amendments to Ordinance 180 on bicycles and play vehicles
Summary
On June 22, 2026 the Spring Green Ordinance Committee reviewed proposed amendments to Ordinance 180 that would add a sidewalk speed limit (including alleys and public parking lots) and consider a parental-responsibility clause for minors under 12; the committee took no formal action and asked members to draft statutory language for the next meeting.
The Spring Green Ordinance Committee reviewed proposed amendments to Ordinance 180 (Bicycle and Play Vehicles) at its meeting on June 22, 2026 in the Spring Green Village Office.
Committee member Jean-Claude Bédard presented drafted amendments and led the review. Members discussed adding a specific speed limit for sidewalk use and extending that limit to alleyways and public parking lots within the village. The minutes note that “No action necessary regarding this item.”
During discussion, attendee Andy Kurek suggested adding a parental-responsibility section that would allow parents or guardians to be held responsible for the actions of minors under the age of 12. Committee member David Saperstein agreed to research and identify the appropriate state statute language to reference in the ordinance text; Bédard will incorporate the committee’s changes and present the revised draft at a future meeting.
The committee did not vote on the ordinance amendments on June 22; members instead assigned follow-up tasks and scheduled further review. The conversation focused on definitional and enforcement language (speed limits for sidewalks, alleyways and parking lots; age thresholds and parental responsibility) rather than adoption. The committee recorded no public comments on the item during the meeting.
The next step recorded in the minutes is for Saperstein to locate the relevant state statute language and for Bédard to update the draft ordinance accordingly for consideration at a subsequent meeting.
