City Council leaders announced on Tuesday a package of 17 bills intended to curtail crashes involving e-bikes, e-scooters, and other micromobility devices that have become a common sight on city streets.

In addition to the legislation itself, City Council Speaker Julie Menin also announced that she has scheduled a Sept. 30 public hearing on the devices. The proceeding aims to examine both the new legislative proposals and how the city currently regulates motorized two-wheelers.
