Residents raise safety concerns about e-bikes and sidewalk maintenance
Summary
During public comment, two residents urged action on e-bikes and asked that sidewalks be kept clear of grass; Mayor Kemp said state legislation may address e-bike rules in 2027 and the city will consider an ordinance if needed in spring.
Two residents used the public comment period to press the council on safety concerns. D. Strabala expressed worries about e-bikes operating around town and asked the council to put an ordinance in place to address those issues; Mayor Kemp said the topic "seems to be a hot topic" and that state legislation may address e-bike regulation in 2027, with the city considering an ordinance in the spring if state action does not resolve the issue.
J. Cambridge also raised concerns about e-bikes and separately urged residents to keep grass off sidewalks because it can be dangerous for walkers; Deputy Clerk Frembgen Kesner said she would add a reminder to the city newsletter. No formal action was taken at the meeting beyond the newsletter reminder and the council's indication that it is monitoring legislative developments.
