Commission flags e-bike, dirt-bike nuisance in village and asks police to enforce park rules
Summary
Commissioners reported recurring incidents of e-bikes and dirt bikes riding on sidewalks and across park fields, described hazards and lack of helmets, and said they contacted police to enforce the ordinance against off-road motorized vehicles.
Members described multiple reports of e-bikes and dirt bikes riding through residential side streets, crossing Main Street and damaging park areas. A local resident reported seeing riders make wheelies and dig into turf; commission members said they had alerted police and asked for enforcement in park and village areas.
"These e-bikes have been a problem up in the village," one committee member said, pressing for enforcement and for the police to include the park area in patrols. Commissioners noted potential safety hazards (riders without helmets) and discussed documenting incidents to support police response.
