<br />
<br />heard from people who felt bicycle riders
<br />The City Council is on record as supporting
<br />would be contrary to that policy.
<br />
<br />Manager agreed it might be desirable to modify this proposed policy, but the immediate
<br />problem was with rather dangerous activities going on there now, which conflict with pedes-
<br />trian use of the mall. The question may be referred to the bicycle committee for further
<br />study. If they reach any conclusions for modification, the Council could amend the ord-
<br />inance.

<br />the Council was on record as encouraging use of bicycles. He felt the Bicycle committee
<br />should make a study of the problem. Manager pointed out that the staff recommendation had
<br />been that the ordinance be passed now, so that the immediate problem could be alleviated,
<br />and that the bicycle committee study the matter, and make further recommendations. If
<br />necessary, the ordinance could then be amended.
