WHAT DO YOU THINK OF E-BIKES AND E-SCOOTERS IN RICHMOND HILL?

Have your say at upcoming Public Information Centres

 

RICHMOND HILL – Richmond Hill is developing a Micromobility Strategy that will guide decisions on regulating the use of micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters on roads, trails and parks as well as investigate cycling on sidewalks.

Micromobility generally refers to a variety of lightweight devices, that are usually electric, including the more common e-bikes and e-scooters. As micromobility increases in popularity due to its convenience and affordability, it is important that the City establishes regulations and guidelines to ensure safety in public spaces.

Join the discussion at one of the following Public Information Centres:

  • Monday, September 16, 6 – 7:30 p.m. at Bayview Hill Community Centre or,
  • Wednesday, September 18, 6 – 7:30 p.m. at Oak Ridges Community Centre

At each session, City staff will be sharing information about the project and residents are encouraged to join the conversation. For those who cannot attend in person, the presentation will be live-streamed and include a chat-based Q&A session. Registration details are available at RichmondHill.ca/Micromobility.

The Micromobility Strategy is one of the components in the City’s Transportation Master Plan to address safety, enforcement and education related to micromobility vehicles in our city.
