The Chicago Park District convened its inaugural town hall meeting on September 30, 2026, to discuss speed limits and enforcement strategies for e‑bikes, e‑scooters and other micromobility devices.
The session was prompted by a new Illinois law that takes effect on Jan. 1, requiring standardized statewide rules for such devices. Recent state legislation governing the use of e‑bikes and e‑scooters on roads and paths has led local agencies to consider how best to apply and enforce the upcoming regulations.
