Council holds first reading to allow golf carts on roads posted 25 mph and under
Summary
Council heard a first reading to add 'under‑speed vehicles' to the traffic code and allow golf carts on streets with a posted speed limit of 25 mph or less; members clarified the change would not automatically apply to electric scooters and that parking areas would remain accessible.
On first reading, council considered an amendment to the traffic code to classify "under‑speed vehicles" and permit golf carts on roadways posted at 25 miles per hour or less.
Staff explained the proposed ordinance would not change access to off‑road paths and would exclude micro‑mobility devices; "Allows golf carts only on 25 miles per hour and below," a presenter summarized. Councilmembers asked how the ordinance would interact with parking areas and school‑adjacent paths; staff said carts could be driven into parking areas but would be limited to roadways at or below the specified speed threshold.
The item was presented as a first reading; no vote on final adoption occurred at the meeting.
