Select Board allows two pedicabs for Oysterfest under police and fire conditions

The Select Board voted to permit two pedicabs to operate during Oysterfest under conditions drafted by the police and fire chiefs. The chiefs presented a map and operational conditions intended to manage loading, drop‑offs and direct travel on narrow Wellfleet streets.

Applicant Alexander Toiler of Provincetown Pedicabs indicated his company would adhere to the restrictions; police and fire chiefs told the board the two‑pedicab trial would make it easier to manage operations and to withdraw permissions if operators violated the rules. Board members said they preferred to start small, monitor how the pilot works and adjust permissions in subsequent years if needed.

The motion specified the operator, the two‑pedicab limit and reliance on the map and orders of operations prepared by the chiefs. The board then approved the motion on a roll call.
