Wow, that was a crazy storm we had Saturday night! I hope you, your family, and property are safe.
I want to share information about IGAs and get your input on having golf carts on the trails and/or streets in Erie.
On the topic of IGAs (Intergovernmental Agreements), I support collaboration with our neighboring cities and counties. I wrote a guest opinion to the Hometown Weekly newspaper. You can find it by clicking here.
There is talk about legalizing golf carts on the trails in Erie. I am currently not in favor of mixing strollers, walkers, joggers, and cyclists with motorized vehicles, but would like to hear from you before I am required to make a decision. Please let me know what you think below.
Take Care,
Janice
===== Update on 8/13/13 - Survey Results =====
Thank you for all the great feedback on golf carts on our trails and streets. You can find the results and comments by clicking here.
A quick summary:
- 249 responses
- 80% do not want golf carts on the trails primarily for safety reasons
- 53% do not want golf carts on the streets
I did share the results with the other members of the Board of Trustees.
In the end no motion was made to consider golf carts on Erie's trail system. A motion was made to consider golf carts on our streets with speed limits 35 mph or lower by Mayor Wilson and seconded by Trustee Grassi. The motion failed 3-4.
