Council passes first reading of ordinance regulating bikes and motorized vehicles in parks
Summary
Ordinance 711, which would regulate bicycles, electric motorcycles and other motorized vehicles in Afton parks, passed its first reading July 14 after a unanimous council vote; the minutes do not include ordinance text or the planned effective date.
The Afton Town Council passed Ordinance 711 on its first reading July 14, moving forward a local regulation addressing bicycles, electric motorcycles and other motorized vehicles within town parks.
Council Member Scott Griffith moved to pass the ordinance on first reading; Council Member Will Wilkes seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. The minutes record the council’s procedural action but do not include the proposed ordinance language or an effective date.
Because the minutes do not transcribe the ordinance’s provisions, the council’s next steps (such as public notice or a second reading) and the precise prohibitions or permitted uses in parks remain to be detailed in subsequent staff reports or forthcoming agendas.
