The Johns Creek City Council votes Feb. 9 to approve an ordinance change that allows electric bikes on sidewalks and paths but not in city parks.
Johns Creek passes measure allowing e-bikes on pathways By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — On a split vote Feb. 9, the Johns Creek City Council ruled to allow use of electric bicycles on the same pathways as traditional bikes. The vote was 4-3. The ordinance change allows electric bikes on sidewalks, except at city parks. Electric bikes that can exceed 28 mph will be restricted to roadways only. Traditional bicycles are allowed on sidewalks, paths and city parks.
The vote follows months of discussions prompted by the rise in popularity of electric-powered bicycles and safety concerns. Mayor John Bradberry and council members Dilip Tunki, Stacy Skinner and Erin Elwood voted for the ordinance. Council members Bob Erramilli, Chris Coughlin and Larry DiBiase dissented, saying they preferred to give electric bike riders access to park paths.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga — More than 160 students from schools across Fulton County took part in Fulton County Schools’ eighth annual Student Choice Food Challenge Feb. 13. The event asked elementary, middle and high school students from across the district to sample and score an array of recipes ranging from comfort foods like buffalo chicken pasta and cheesy enchilada bake, to more bold options like Moroccan chicken. Each delegation of students used iPads at each food station to evaluate recipes based on taste, texture, and overall appeal, providing valuable feedback that will influence meals featured in school cafeterias next year.
