Ban E-Bikes and E-Scooters from pavements, footpaths and walkways.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

E-bikes can travel at speeds up to 20-28 mph, creating dangerous conditions for pedestrians, especially children, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities. Current rules are inadequate or poorly enforced, leading to confusion and unsafe conditions.

Prohibit e-bikes from all pedestrian-only spaces.
Implement reasonable enforcement measures and penalties for violations
Develop and promote dedicated cycling infrastructure
Launch a public education campaign about proper e-bike use and regulations
We believe these measures will enhance safety, restore the intended purpose of pedestrian spaces, and better accommodate all community members. We support sustainable transportation while ensuring pedestrian pathways remain safe and accessible to all.

Why it was rejected
