Committee seeks clarity on e‑bike recommendations after subcommittee notice issues

Committee members said they were surprised to find detailed e‑bike recommendations in the draft plan that they had not reviewed as a subcommittee. One member asked about the origin and evidence basis for the proposed speed limits and class distinctions and requested that the subcommittee be briefed so it can provide input.

Plan staff and other members clarified that the section largely documents existing Indiana code and city code allowances and that the plan recommends annual reviews to track new mobility devices and consider regulations as necessary. Staff committed to sharing references used in the chapter and continuing dialogue with the mobility subcommittee before any policy recommendations move forward to broader review.
