Subject: 11/19 Public Comment Statement
Hi Lucy - I hope all is well. I am requesting that the following comment be read during public comment at tomorrow's meeting.
*******************
Good evening, Mayor Amabile and Council Members,
I'm writing to express my concern regarding the growing number of e-bikes being operated throughout Los Banos - on sidewalks, city roadways, and along the rail trail. I've personally experienced close calls on the rail trail at sunset when e-bikes approached at high speeds highlighting the need for clearer safety guidelines.
I respectfully request that the Council consider coordinating with the Police Department and orinance. Promoting sace ol Door atity iS important not oily for indian health but also for fostering a vibrant, active community. Additionally, we should consider bringing back the dashed lines on the rail trail to clearly indicate separate lanes.
At a minimum, I believe the ordinance should address the following:
- Speed limits
- Direction of travel
- Right-of-way requirements
- Open space restrictions
- Modification bans
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Erasmo Viveros
A concerned resident
