Bill

This ordinance separates how the city treats pedicabs and pedal carriages: pedicabs are recognized as a legitimate transportation option, while pedal carriages are classified strictly as entertainment vehicles. Pedicabs would be allowed to use designated bike lanes as long as they don't slow down existing bicycle traffic, while pedal carriages must stay out of bike lanes and continue traveling with motor vehicle traffic.
