After years of starts and stops off-and-on conversations within the city’s parks department, off-and-on conversations with people outside the department, a pilot program allowing e-bikes on trails that was called off amid controversy in 2021 the debate might be nearing its end. Or it is only entering another phase.Officials have proposed a policy granting Class 1 e-bikes on city-owned parks and open space trails where other mountain bikes are allowed. Those are e-bikes with motors that provide boosts up to 20 mph as long as the rider is pedaling.
