Resident tells Bicycle Advisory Board e-bikes and scooters feel 'out of control' on trails
Summary
A resident speaking during public comment told the board that electric bikes, scooters and e-motos on trails are 'out of control' and urged the board to be aware of that concern; the board acknowledged the remark but no action was recorded.
During public comment, a first-time attendee told the Bicycle Advisory Board that electric bikes, scooters and similar devices are causing problems on bike trails and adjacent areas.
"The e bikes are out of control," the resident said, adding that e-scooters and "e moto's" also raise concerns. The chair thanked the speaker and invited them to be part of future meetings. There was no formal follow-up, policy direction or motion recorded in response.
Why it matters: board members are responsible for advising on bike facility policy and may use public comment to inform future agenda items, including potential discussions about micromobility rules, enforcement or design interventions that separate higher‑speed, motorized devices from low‑stress bicycle facilities.
Next steps: no formal staff action was noted in the meeting transcript; board members may choose to add micromobility policy or enforcement implications to a future agenda if the concern recurs or staff raise related operational issues.
