Pedicabs

[Council Communication]  [Proposed Ordinance] [Attachments]

Council Communication
Title: First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Ashland Municipal Code Section 6.28.035 by Revising Regulations Applicable to Pedicabs
Dept: Public Works Department
Date: June 17, 2003
Submitted By: Paula Brown
Approved By:
...........................		 Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator

Synopsis: Ashland Municipal Code Section 6.28.035 authorizes staff to prepare and provide permits required for tour buses or special vehicles. The attached ordinance revisions allow for pedicabs as special vehicles and although they would not be restricted to a specific route, and would be allowed to stop and pick up passengers, pedicab use would be required to meet the following added conditions:

a. Any route used will not create traffic congestion or adversely affect the character or privacy of a residential area.

b. The manner and method of pick-up and delivery of passengers will not create, or materially contribute to, a parking problem or traffic congestion.

Pedicab operators would be required to obtain a special use permit.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the Council adopt a motion to move to second reading an ordinance amending Ashland Municipal Code Section 6.28.035 by revising regulations applicable to pedicabs.
Fiscal Impact: Adoption of the recommendation has no direct fiscal impact with the exception of enforcing the ordinance requirements and potentially collecting fines if the ordinance is not followed.
Background: Dylan Robbins and Edward Rogers have made an application to provide a pedicab service throughout Ashland. This application was taken to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission with their approval as shown on the attached memorandum. The application was also taken to the Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) on May 29, 2003. The TSC was generally supportive of the pedicab, but wanted to be assured that the pedicab would always have adequate lighting and that if the system were to fail at night they would cease operation until it was fixed. Also the TSC wanted the be assured that if at any time the brake lights were to fail, day or night, they are to cease operation until fixed. These items can be added to the actual special vehicle permit and will go back to TSC for their consideration prior to being issued.
