| AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Consider, on second reading, an Ordinance amending the Code of Griffin, Georgia, at Chapter 90, TRAFFIC & VEHICLES, Art. XI, MOTORIZED CARTS, revising said Article in its entirety and replacing with a new Art. XI, PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES. City Attorney Drew Whalen will address.
| SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS: |
Since the City's last revision to this Article in 2011, the General Assembly has amended state law twice and now refers to these vehicles as "personal transportation vehicles", a term which incorporates the former definition of a "motorized cart". The City has also seen an increase in the number of PTVs registered to operate on our public streets. Concern has been expressed by motorists about the use of PTVs on public streets and the frustration caused when these vehicles travel long distances on streets such as E. College and Maple Drive.
Approval. This revision brings our Code in line with both state law and the practices in other local Georgia jurisdictions involving use of PTVs on public roads.
