Executive Summary:
On June 4, 2019 and June 18, 2019, the City Council (Council) discussed extensively many facets of electronic bikes and use of the same in the City of Flagstaff. On June 18, 2019, Council adopted Ordinance 2019-19 revising portions of the Flagstaff City Code (Code) including use of electronic bicycles in Flagstaff. Specific to this agenda item today, when Ordinance 2019-19 was adopted, Council identified certain sidewalks and multiuse paths within the City of Flagstaff where electronic bicycles are now prohibited. The language in Ordinance 2019-19 is general as related to the prohibition on the use of electric bicycles on certain sidewalks and multiuse paths where signage exists reflecting the prohibition. The reason for the general language was that when the Council adopted Ordinance 2019-19 they gave direction to present the prohibitions to specific Commissions to allow additional suggested revisions on the prohibition of electric bicycles on certain sidewalks and multiuse paths and bring any suggested revisions back to City Council to consider amending Ordinance 2019-19. Those specific Commissions did not suggest any revisions to the prohibition of electric bicycles on certain sidewalks and multiuse path restrictions. As a result, a minor amendment only for accuracy in Ordinance 2019-19 is now appropriate to properly reflect the specific names of the sidewalks and multiuse paths named by the City Council where electronic bicycles are prohibited. The names are the Arizona Trail, the Nate Avery and Buffalo Park Trails.
