The Bastrop City Council is poised to adopt a new ordinance to regulate electric bicycle, GPS-equipped bicycle and motor-assisted scooter services in the city.
The City Council on May 25 voted 4-0 to approve the first reading of the ordinance, which would go into effect should it pass a second vote June 8.
Only four members of the council were present during the May 25 meeting to vote on the ordinance. Council Member Bill Peterson was absent due to illness.
The ordinance, as crafted by Police Chief Clint Nagy, defines how and where these modes of transportation can be used in the city, while also providing guidelines for companies that seek to provide electric bicycle, GPS-equipped bicycle or motor-assisted scooter services in Bastrop.
