Minibikes and dirt bikes are popular right now, so we thought we'd try to simplify the rules for everyone. Minibikes and dirt bikes cannot be driven on the road, sidewalk or in City parks. The only legal, two-wheeled vehicles are bikes with pedals.
Wishing good luck to our Community and Economic Development Planner, Maggie Weigle as she is being relocated with her husband for his career. We are so grateful for the hard work and knowledge she brought to our MAPA team! Thank you, Maggie. You will be missed!
