Ordinance amended regarding e-bike usage - General...

The Skokie Park District leases and maintains the land that includes a stretch of the North Shore Channel Trail between Emerson and Howard, part of a route the EBC uses regularly. It’ll be interesting to see if/how they enforce a ban on e-bikes there. 

The park district also is proposing a $53 million bond referendum to build two new parks, one of which would be along the east side of the North Shore Channel between Oakton and Howard and would include a biking/walking path. But apparently not for e-bikes…

Friends,

        When I raised this question with the Village of Skokie I was advised that the North Shore Channel trail was not a Skokie Park District property and the ordinance did not apply to the trail.

        Thanks.
