Council Begins Action
Concerning Mini Bikes
The Rael'ord City Council instructed
cit> attorney Palmer Willcox to draw up
an ordinance concerning the operation of
mini bikes and other motorized vehicles.
The ordinance will prohibit the operation
of tire vehicles on sidewalks, parks and
other public places. The council hopes to
vote on the ordinance as soon as it is
ready.
City manager John Caddy said the
action initiated by the council at their
regular monthly meeting Monday night
was because of the numerous complaints
from people in the city regarding mini
bikes and the dangers of operating them
in public places. In commenting on the
ordinance. Police Chief James F. Lamont
\aid that when the council passes the
ordinance "it will be strictly enforced."
The only law in existence now
concerning the operation of small vehicles
such as mini bikes is a state law which
prohibits their operation on streets and
sidewalks. There is nothing in the state
laws concerning the use of them in parks
and public places. When the law is passed,
operation of these vehicles will be
permitted only on privately owned
property.
Chief Lamont expressed hopes that
someone would open a mini bike trail
where youngsters could use their bikes
under .supervision and m iclattv, mU'!) .
He said that the eii> police have tncd 10
he lenient, but ti has become loo much oi
a piohlem lately. He said thai striel
enforcement of the law will he the or.lv
wa\ hi prevent accidents from the misuse
of these vehicles.
