Two former city leaders asked the Colorado Springs City Council to place a public vote about e-bike access on city parkland on the April ballot.
Colorado Springs has been debating for months about whether to begin allowing battery and electric-powered bikes onto trails that are reserved for non-motorized vehicles through the city Trails, Open Space and Parks (TOPS) program.
During the public comment period of Tuesday’s City Council meeting, prominent former council members Richard Skorman and Wayne Williams said that any change to the voter-enacted TOPS program is required to be made by a ballot measure.
