Residents urge council action on e-bike and trail safety after serious local crash

During the public-comment period a resident reported a recent crash in which a local cyclist was struck, sustained multiple broken bones and was briefly unconscious while other riders left the scene. The speaker urged the commission to address helmet use, e-bike rules and trail enforcement with the City Council and law enforcement to prevent similar injuries.

Commissioners acknowledged the concern and suggested the council and police coordinate on safety outreach and enforcement measures as the community enters peak summer recreation season. No formal action was taken; the comment was recorded for follow-up by staff and the council.
