Commission discusses e-bike reports, notes dam-safety concern for dikes
Summary
Paradise Park Commission reviewed reports of e-bikes on trails and dikes July 16, noting trails are not designed for motorized vehicles and that dam-safety guidance discourages bike use on dikes; commissioners discussed possible town-level restrictions and next steps.
Paradise Park commissioners on July 16 discussed recent reports of electric bikes operating on park trails and on dike structures, a practice members said the trails were not designed to support.
Minutes record that commissioners noted dam-safety guidance recommends against any bike use on dikes and that the commission should consider whether a broader town policy—such as speed limits or designated lane rules—would be appropriate. The commission did not adopt a formal regulation at the meeting but placed the topic on its follow-up list for coordination with town planners.
The discussion did not record a formal motion or vote. The minutes do not attribute the initial report to a specific speaker; rather, the matter was raised as new business for the commission to examine further. The commission scheduled further follow-up as an administrative item.
