Ordinance 1390B — Where Bikes and E-Scooters May Operate
Antigo
Summary
The city wants to crack down on e-bikes and scooters zooming through downtown intersections, but riders — including mobility-impaired seniors on trikes — say the rules would ban them from the only safe crossing downtown. The ordinance got tabled 6-3 so a committee can gather community input before the next meeting.

Impact analysis
No direct cost, but a downtown bike lane would require significant spending on traffic and parking changes.
Pedestrians and downtown business owners tired of scooters buzzing through intersections would see safer sidewalks.
Riders — especially those with mobility issues on three-wheeled bikes — would lose the downtown route they've used for decades.
