A public hearing will take place tonight in Clifton Park to discuss a proposed ban on electric bikes in town nature preserves and municipal parks. The hearing, set to begin at 7 p.m. in the Wood Memorial Meeting Room at the Town Office Building, will allow community members to voice their opinions on the matter.

The proposal aims to amend Chapters 152 and 153 of the Town Code to prohibit e-bikes in these areas. Town officials have noted a growing number of complaints regarding the use of e-bikes, prompting the need for public input before any final decisions are made.

The meeting is an opportunity for residents to express their views and concerns, ensuring that the town board can make an informed decision that reflects the community's interests. For those interested in attending, the meeting will be held at One Town Hall Plaza in Clifton Park.
