Commentls) Commenter The Commission agrees with lowering the oirrent 20 speed limit. However, the proposed 15 limit is considerably faster than pedestrians are movirr: on a sidewalk. in areas around Senior Centers and other pbces where senior congregate, riders shodcl take even greater rare when passing pedestrians. The Commission reconnends the rules set a lower speed limit loruse of DMUs on sidewalls when pedestrians are present. Commission or Seniors We also recommend clarifying edits to align with the cross-referenced - lederal laws and regulations. Speci?aly, the federal regulator, the CPSC. ls intl'iebestposltion devices. And federal law (PL 197-313) de?nes law'speed electric bicycles as enabling pedal assist at speeds l3; than 20 mph; as this law expressly has I preemptive effect. we recommend clarifying that Hollies may include pedal - assist at speeds up to 20 (instead oils mph). JUMP it may seem counter?intuitive that a public commenter like me, who is worried about safety. should advocate for retaining the present 20 scooterspeedlimitand notgoingtoa limit. Asltravei the streets of West Campus scooters traveling at In lit in comfortably with the ?ow of traf?c lithe scooter speed is reduced to 15 the ?r traffic will be Forced to edge past the slowrnoving scooters while both are in the same traf?c lane. Present city regulations require thatars pass bicyclists with at least a three-loot separation between the tar and the bike. There will be ten times as many scooters as bikers and ior the scooter operatorthe risk of I amidents will, i believe, an up sharply ii the speed is reduced to 15 MPH forcing more cars to pass slow~movlna scooters. For that reason 1 would supporta 20 speed on the streets and suggest sentencing the sidewalks to limit the speed where the pedestrians are. David Mi ler Bird supports lowering maximum speed to 15mph. Eird COA Responselsl Agree with the spirit of the suggestion, however these rules regulate the dockless providerbusinesses.
