Despite the advantages of using these alternative methods of transportation, <br />unique safety concerns are created by their inherent design and by their use, to both users of such <br />devices and pedestrians. In recent years, there has been an increase in the improper use of motorized <br />scooters and similar wheeled devices in the City, which pose a substantial risk of injury or death to <br />users of such devices and pedestrians. <br />It is the intent of the City Commission to enact by ordinance regulations governing the use and <br />operation of motorized scooters and other wheeled devices, which serve to protect the health and <br />welfare of all city residents and visitors. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Ordinance <br />Business Impact Estimate <br />Item Number: 9.0 <br />
