OLD BUSINESS B. Bicycle Code Revisions The City of Flagstaff has been working on a series of Bicycle Code revisions primarily focused on the wave of new e-bike and e-scooter technologies that have been introduced over the past few years. The Arizona Revised Statutes have been updated somewhat and this series of revisions helps to clarify and locally calibrate the laws pertaining to e-bikes and e-scooters. Staff has presented these proposed code modifications to the Bicycle Advisory Committee, the Pedestrian Advisory Committee and the Sustainability Commission and will share the key points of those discussions with the Commission. Staff has also released a public survey and compiled those results for review. Staff will be presenting these proposed code revisions to the City Council at a Work Session on May 30, 2019.
