The Salt Lake City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, to consider an ordinance regarding electric-assisted bicycles, motorcycles, and other electric devices. According to an October 29 notice, the proposed amendment would affect how these devices operate on pathways, trails, and other surfaces managed by the Department of Public Lands.
The proposed legislation seeks to amend Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code. This amendment would update existing rules for both paved shared-use pathways and natural-surface trails. Additionally, the proposal would grant the Director of Public Lands increased management authority to make specific decisions regarding trails.
The public hearing is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at City Hall, Room 315, located at 451 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah. The meeting will offer both in-person attendance and an electronic option via Zoom. Individuals interested in the matter can review the proposed legislation, filed under number Z 20260175, at the SLC Recorder's Office, Room 415, or online at tinyurl.com/proposedleg.
Public comments can be submitted via email at council.comments@slc.gov or through a 24-hour comment line at 801-535-7654. For those requiring reasonable accommodations, such as interpreters or alternate formats, requests should be made to the City Council Office at least two business days in advance.
