Town Council Regular Meeting (Business) — September 24, 2026
The town is moving toward clear rules for e-bikes and other wheeled devices, with a $50 fine per offense. First reading passed; a second reading remains before the rules take effect.
Town Council Study Session — September 3, 2026
A draft ordinance would classify e-bikes into three classes, ban class 3 (28+ mph) bikes from sidewalks and multi-use paths, require helmets for riders under 18, require bells or horns, and set $25-$75 fines. Enforcement on paths is acknowledged as difficult; the plan is education-first.
