Amendment of Municipal Code Section 9-52-020 prohibiting operation of bicycles, scooters, or low-speed electric mobility devices on any sidewalk
Chicago's City Council, including Alderman Brian Hopkins, proposes an ordinance amending Section 9-52-020 of the Municipal Code, regulating bicycle, low-speed electric bicycle, motor scooter, and low-speed electric mobility device use on sidewalks and roadways. Riding is allowed on sidewalks marked as bicycle routes or used to access bicycle share stations, but prohibited on Lake Shore Drive and other signed areas, unless the prohibition imposed by subsections applies to a person 12 or more years of age. The ordinance takes effect 10 days after passage.
