Hello Roy - I imagine that the reality of "e"transportation wasn't even a far-off fantasy when most communities formed their original codes.  It makes you wonder about common sense but as we know, things continue to change and evolve.  Even common sense.

It sounds like they will always have plenty to discuss and approve of and hopefully, they always make decisions that are in the best interest of the public.

This is such an interesting topic. We have quite a few of these small motorized vehicles on the sidewalks and roadways...a good meeting to attend.

They have a problem with this in Portland which is bike and sedgeway friendly. Trying to keep pedestrians safe is always an issue. People can rent sedgeways now and apparently are sharing the sidewalks.

Roy, this is valuable information.  More homeowners should participate in these since it affects all residents!!

Roy,

Great information, and great discussion will come of this.  I am in the camp of those who don't want to have to worry about scooters on the sidewalk, especially when walking. Some folks here use the bike lanes, but I have a feeling it is going to annoy the bike set.  A

Hello Roy,  We have our City counsel meeting on Mondays night but afraid more people will not be leaving their homes for awhile.

E-Bikes and Scooters are becoming quite popular here in Sacramento too.  And, roads are being re-designed to better accomodate them.
