Transportation Commission
Allow e-bikes on the Nate Avery Trail: 2-3 (fails)

Allow e-bikes on the Arizona Trail: 3-0-1 (passes)
Allow e-bikes on other FUTS: 3-0-1 (passes)
Bicycle Advisory Committee
Allow e-bikes on the Nate Avery Trail: 4-3 (passes)
Allow e-bikes on the Arizona Trail: 4-3 (passes)
Allow e-bikes on other FUTS: 6-1 (passes)
 
The panels provided a variety of reasons for their votes:•Class 1 and 2 electric bicycles should be treated the same as pedal bicycles.
•Provides consistency for messaging and enforcement and avoids confusion
•Electric bicycles can help promote bicycle use and reduce automobile use
•Electric bicycles provide a more accessible transportation option for people with mobility limitations
•The City should endeavor to better accommodate e-bikes and other devices in the planning and design of multi-modal facilities
