Sean Marshall, Evie Ellington, and Katie Stevens, Lime, answered Councilmembers’ questions and provided details about the company’s operations and safety enhancements, wireless requirements, environmental impacts, access, and local status, and spoke in favor of expanding Lime’s e-scooter business into Monterey. Robert Cepella, bicycle mechanic, spoke in favor of e-bikes, which he said are an important option for commuters, and said they shouldn’t create an enforcement burden for the Police Department. Bruce Zanetta cautioned against e-scooters, citing issues with the vendor in Marina, and said that leaning toward people-powered modes would be better for the City, though taking cars off the road would outweigh other negatives. Frank and Michelle Knight, Adventures by the Sea, asked the Council to carefully analyze the impacts of any considered programs and think about safety and existing congestion on the Recreational Trail (Rec Trail), cited clutter concerns, and stated that bike share programs are not a good fit and won’t make economic sense for the City. Pete Wynn, recreational cyclist, and Marc Kelley, West Franklin Street, cited safety concerns associated with motorized vehicles such as e-scooters and e-bicycles on the Rec Trail, and asked Council to be cautious. Nina Beety cited environmental, traffic, accessibility, liability, and safety concerns about e-bikes and e-scooters, saying that the vehicles’ wireless emissions impinge on her ability to use the right-of-way. Tammy Jennings said that the City of Monterey is not a good fit for the discussed methods of transportation, citing safety and legal concerns. Matthew McCluney, California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), stated that the e- scooters on campus are being used for commuting, and offered that CSUMB’s experience with e-scooters could help provide answers for the City.

With no further requests to speak, Mayor Roberson closed public comments. The Council recessed at 8:54 p.m. and reconvened at 9:06 p.m. They began a discussion about the differences between, and positives and negatives of, the three vehicle types. A comment was made in favor of trying all three in a limited and restricted way and seeing how it goes, noting that the City is in control and these modes of transport would help to achieve goals of the Monterey Multi Modal Plan, by getting people out of their cars. Concerns were raised about e-scooters with regard to congestion and safety issues, the business model, sidewalk clutter, and the number of rental share companies that could possibly operate at once. Concerns were raised about the City’s ability to enforce restrictions for e-bikes 7 City Council Minutes Tuesday, April 16, 2019 and/or e-scooter share programs. It was stated that Monterey residents do not want e-scooters in their community. It was observed that local companies are already renting e-bikes. A comment was made in support of pedicabs, with observations that they would be driven by professional drivers and could be limited in numbers and held accountable, with requirements such as seatbelts and drivers’ licenses and possibly required trainings. It was suggested that staff gather more information about pedicabs, information which could include suggesting areas allowed and discouraged for pedicab operations, suggested hours of operation, details on how they mix with traffic, whether or not to allow them on the Rec Trail, and how many pedicabs could operate as compared with how many bike surreys are in use. It was stated that the Rec Trail is at maximum capacity and is a lifestyle for many people It was suggested that the City find a way to address congested areas of the trail and consider widening it to allow separate paths for walkers and bikers, particularly between Fisherman’s Wharf and the basketball courts, which was cited as a dangerous area. It was stated that pedicabs may not create additional traffic on the Rec Trail. It was stated that the shared rental programs are being tested in other communities, and that the Council would need to see more proof from vendors and other cities about whether safety and clutter issues can be addressed before they would consider such programs. It was stated that a program with docking by bus stops for first and last trips, and prohibited use on the Rec trail and other unsafe places, could be of interest in the future. The Council ended discussion. On a motion by Mayor Roberson, seconded by Councilmember Haffa, and carried by the following vote, the City Council directed staff to pursue the possibility of pedicabs in the City, and restrict e-share scooters and e-share bicycles at this time: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Albert, Haffa, Smith, Williamson, Roberson NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSTAIN: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None RECUSED: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None Adjourn to Ocean View Community Services District Meeting The Council adjourned to the Ocean View Community Services District meeting.
