The rising popularity of electric bikes (e-bikes), motorized foot scooters, and other motorized bikes, has led to increased traffic from non-traditional bicycles on city trails and sidewalks. Staff have observed and received resident and trail users feedback about concerns including (1) the speed of these non-traditional bicycles on shared pathways, (2) confusion among users what is permitted on trails and sidewalks, and (3) potential conflicts or safety concerns with pedestrians and traditional bike users. A joint work session with the city council and parks and recreation commission was held on October 6, 2025, to review the current situation and discuss potential management strategies. The presentation included an overview of the current situation and challenges, information on e-bikes, motorized foot scooters, and other motorized bikes, summary of relevant Minnesota Statutes and regulations, and potential solutions for managing electric and motorized use on trails and sidewalks. Throughout the discussion, the top issues identified with e-bikes, motorized foot scooters, and motorized bicycles were speed limits and enforcement. Safety for both pedestrians and riders was the top priority. There was consensus the City’s initial focus should be on education and enforcement of existing State Statutes, with the option to codify these regulations in City Code if necessary. To promote education and awareness, the City published State Statute information regarding e-bikes, motorized foot scooters, and motorized bicycles in the Winter edition of the Farmington Currents, created a new dedicated webpage on the City’s website, and shared information through social media channels. Director Omlid attended the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association’s Annual Conference during the week of October 27, where e-bike management was the hot topic. Page 14 of 26 An update from the conference will be provided at the meeting. The commission should be prepared to discuss key takeaways from the joint work session, additional educational opportunities, and next steps for managing use.

At its meeting on June 11, 2025, the commission approved the draft 2026- 2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Park Improvement Fund and recommended city council approval with the final 2026 budget.
