Denver City Council Passes Park Regulations Ordinance.

Date: July 25th, Denver City Council Meeting.

The city manager of the autonomous district, Michael Hession, has submitted a draft ordinance regarding rules and regulations in the district's parks, which includes banning electronic cigarettes, air guns, and electric bicycles. The ordinance addresses issues in the park currently, such as the increasing prevalence of electronic cigarettes. Currently, regulations do not mention electronic cigarettes or prohibit smoking or the use of air guns. Hession reported to the commission that they have recently shifted toward smaller air guns rather than air rifles, hence the name change to air guns. Regarding electric bicycles, Hession said that there are some concerns about speed. The ordinance only allows the use of motorized bicycles with prior permission from the parks and recreation department, such as for planned events. He said, "You can't be going 35 miles per hour through a trail system when people are walking there.

Enforcement: The council supported updates and modifications and discussed amending park signage to include electronic cigarettes and a local non-emergency phone number for reporting violations. If approved, anyone breaking the rules regarding smoking and e-cigarettes will be removed from the park. Upon conviction, they will pay a fine of no less than $25 and no more than $600 plus court costs. The ordinance will be advertised and made available to the public before the council takes any action. The plan is for the ordinance to go into effect by the end of the summer.
