County reports 1,100 daily Greenway users; plans speed signs to curb fast e-bikes
Summary
Jackson County reported Greenway usage at roughly 1,100 users per day for the year ending Aug. 1 and said staff will add speed limit signage to address fast e-bike use; slurry-seal work on the Greenway's south end was also reported.
Chair told the board that the Greenway is seeing renewed use and that staff recently slurry-sealed the south end and plan similar work on the north end. To address speeding e-bikes, the county plans to install speed-limit signage on sections of the Greenway.
"Daily use for the last year ending August 1 was 1,100 users a day for the Grainway," Chair said, reporting counter data across the full Greenway. Chair said the county is receiving positive comments about the slurry seal and is planning concrete picnic tables and new fire pits at park sites to reduce vandalism and maintenance needs.
Why it matters: high Greenway use and fast-moving e-bikes raise safety and enforcement questions for pedestrians and cyclists; signage and pavement maintenance are near-term staff actions to address those concerns. Staff noted public comments about speeding and the counter data provide a baseline for future planning and funding requests.
