|
| | | | | | | | ITEM/TOPIC: Ordinance 1, Series 2018 amending Section 7-4-4 of the Vail Town Code to prohibit operation of Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices on Bike and Pedestrian Paths and in Vail Village and Lionshead Village
|
| | | | | | | | PRESENTER(S): Gregg Barrie, Town of Vail Senior Landscape Architect
|
| | | | | | | | ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Continue the discussion on the use of EPAMDs in Vail and provide direction to staff
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: See Staff Memorandum
|
| | | | | | | | STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Vail provides visitors and guests with a variety of recreational opportunities. It is important that those opportunities occur in an environment that is safe for all. Staff would suggest that there may be ways to address the Council’s concerns in regards to the use of EPAMDs on Vail’s recreation trails and in pedestrian areas without a complete ban.
The staff recommendation is to set guidelines for EPAMD use that aim to address Council concerns. Staff then recommends revisiting this issue in mid-summer to ensure those guidelines are successful and are being followed. Similar to the electric assisted bicycle discussion, this can be revisited annually if needed.
If, however, the Council determines that more restrictive regulations are in order at this time, staff has prepared a draft ordinance for approval or approval with modifications as directed. The draft is included as Attachment A.
