City Council unanimously approves declaration calling for more education and enforcement of regulations
The Encinitas City Council declared a local state of emergency on bike and e-bike safety Wednesday, just days after a 15-year-old e-bike rider was killed following a collision with a van.
Kingman and other public speakers stressed that Brodee was a well-educated e-cyclist who knew the rules of the road, was wearing his helmet and used the appropriate hand signals to indicate his intention to turn. Mayor Tony Kranz said a new state law that goes into effect next year will make it easier for Encinitas to lower speed limits on its major roadways to protect cyclists and the city intends to take advantage of that. Until then, the city will focus on other ways of improving bike and e-bike safety.Rent 10 electronic message boards for 12 weeks at an estimated cost of $35,000 and set them up on area roadways.
Have city traffic engineering employees review roadway conditions and traffic accident statistics to determine what changes can be made to improve cyclists’ safety, with the goal of starting to bring back proposals for City Council consideration in August.
