While allowing rental e-scooters on Bernard Avenue during the Meet Me on Bernard program has been raised as a concern, council has voted to permit them anyway.

The request came from the Downtown Kelowna Association (DKA) with city staff recommending a 15 km/h speed limit.

Coun. Maxine DeHart noted that the downtown is extremely busy from May to September.

Council was reviewing the terms of a new contract providing parameters for an e-scooter and e-bike operator.

E-scooters will not be allowed to be ridden on sidewalks, as is the case anywhere else they are permitted to operate in the city.

91裸聊视频淚n my mind, to get people to walk safely on Bernard Avenue, we should not have to fight with electric bikes and electric scooters,91裸聊视频� added Coun. Luke Stack.

Coun. Ron Cannan pointed out that bicycles and e-bikes are allowed during Meet Me on Bernard.

Stack put forward an amendment that e-scooters not be allowed during Meet Me on Bernard, however, that was defeated.

Council, as suggested by Coun. Rick Webber, asked staff to consider a section in the contract that e-scooters could be pulled from Meet Me on Bernard if they proved to be a nuisance.
