2. Second reading of Ordinance Amending Sections 28-9, 28-10 and adding a new Section 28-10.1

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of DeLand is considering an ordinance amendment that would affect the operation of e-bikes and micromobility devices. This proposed ordinance would add these devices to the existing prohibition against their use on downtown sidewalks. It also considers a requirement for helmet use by riders aged 16 to 17 years old. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the ordinance could lead to new regulations impacting downtown areas. Businesses involved in the sale or rental of e-bikes and micromobility devices, as well as those providing safety equipment like helmets, may see changes in their operating environment. Local contractors specializing in signage or traffic control might also be involved if new regulations require physical changes to public spaces. Engaging with city officials early in the review process can provide valuable insight into potential future needs and opportunities.
