Commission recommends continued ebike education, data collection
Summary
After staff summarized outreach and survey results, the commission voted to recommend one more year of ebike education and to collect survey, outreach, citation and ER/incident data as success metrics to share with city council.
Commissioners heard a report from the ebike safety committee and staff about outreach this summer, including more than 200 survey responses gathered at pop‑up events and concerts. "We've had over 200 survey responses," staff said while summarizing contacts and open text feedback from community members and tourists.
Police Chief Mark Beckett and staff discussed enforcement realities and how electric motorcycles (e‑motos) differ from ebikes. Commissioners debated whether to recommend ordinance changes or a ban on e‑motos, and ultimately the commission voted to recommend continuing the education and outreach campaign for one more year and to collect data on outreach events, citations and ER visits. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
