School-route pedestrian and cyclist safety
Summary
Several commissioners zeroed in on e-motos — illegal electric motorcycles that kids ride because they look like the cool e-bikes. Because they lack pedals, they're easier for officers to identify, and Commissioners Sheehan and Burns both urged focusing enforcement there rather than penalizing kids riding legal e-bikes to school.
