## Resource

E-bikes are speeding through Matthews parks, sparking safety fears among dog walkers and parkgoers who say riders are zooming past at 25 mph — too fast for sidewalks and greenways. Commissioners are weighing whether to ban them outright or impose speed limits, balancing safety with access for younger riders. No decision was made yet, but a vote could come as early as August 24th — and everyone’s watching to see if the rules will protect the parks without shutting out the riders.
