 presentation on eBikes
 Tom Craighead from NEST presents an overview of eBike capabilities, benefits,
 and concerns to TAB.

 Webb asks if other states or municipalities have taken action with ordinances.

 Tom Craighead states that the 28 mph eBikes are the first eBikes getting
 restrictions and that Naperville is pretty much at the same point as every other
 jurisdiction.

 Biinkowski asks what the ultimate goal is for eBikes from the presenter.

 Tom Craighead states that eBikes are an opportunity for sustainable modes of
 transportation and an opportunity for riders that don't typically ride to be able to
 ride. He states that there are some concerns that need to be addressed and he
 is not trying to promote eBikes but to show the facts about them.

 Orolin asks if the eBikes can be used on sidewalks and if that is the case then
 they have to share the road with cars.

 Tom Craighead states that this is a concern and states that they are able to use
 bike trails but only the first 2 classes of eBikes but the 3rd class is not allowed
 on trails.

 Seeberg asks if trails or roads are designed for eBikes.

 Deputy City Engineer Andy Hynes states that the trails are designed based on
 design speeds.

 Seeberg asks how the park district or IDOT enforce the eBikes on trails.

 Tom Craighead states that enforcement would be difficult and that it should be
 more about equity and safety.

 Melaniphy asks staff if they have done any research into crash history with
 eBikes.

 Zook states that the department does not track the difference of eBikes to
 bicycles. Zook states that there have been casualties for pedestrians but for
 bicycles he is not sure.

 Melaniphy asks if AASHTO has any designs that might vary because of eBikes
 on infrastructure.

 Hynes states that he has not seen anything to date but he will do some
 research on the matter.

 Melaniphy asks staff to monitor best practices for eBike infrastructure and any
 updates that might be coming.

 Hynes states that staff can come back in the late summer with information

 regarding the community survey and any updates they have on eBikes.

 he does not believe that those standards recognize that eBikes are here.
