E-Bike Scooter Violation Fines

At a glance

• What: Changes to the Traffic and Parking Regulations penalties for e-bike and scooter violations, plus police enforcement on Commercial Street.
• Where it stands: On August 24 the Board voted 5-0 to amend Section 8-8-9 (penalties and enforcement). The text shows the old and new figures $100 and $35 for a first offense, $200 and $75 for a second, and $300 and $100 for a third or later offense; the strikethrough formatting was lost, so it appears the penalties were lowered to $35, $75 and $100 but this should be confirmed against the regulation.

Detail

• July 27: Police Chief Hennick gave the quarterly report, covering a recent operation targeting a large drug distributor and efforts to maintain safety on Commercial Street, with e-bike and scooter enforcement on the agenda. No vote.
• August 24: Traffic hearing led by Riviello; motion Miller, second Sandberg, 5-0 (voted together with the speed-hump direction, see Commercial Street Speed Humps).
