Board approves ordinance to restrict Class 3 e-bikes on designated shared-use paths
Summary
The board adopted ordinance 192-26 to prohibit driving, stopping, standing and parking on certain shared-use paths and to restrict Class 3 electric bicycles on designated routes; staff said public-works signage will define affected paths.
The Henrico County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 25 approved ordinance 192-26, which adds regulations to prohibit driving, stopping, standing and parking on designated shared-use paths and restricts operation of Class 3 electric bicycles (capable of speeds up to about 28 mph) on certain county shared-use routes.
Chief Burnett presented the ordinance and told supervisors the county will work with Public Works to identify which paths will be restricted and to ensure signage is posted at both ends. "This ordinance would prohibit driving, stopping, standing and parking on shared use pass," Chief Burnett said when introducing the measure. Supervisor Rountree clarified that the ordinance does not target people standing on sidewalks and staff confirmed standing references apply when a vehicle is on a shared-use pathway.
No public speakers addressed the item; the measure was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
