The City of Milford and the Milford Police Department have received numerous complaints about bicycles, scooters and e-bikes in recent weeks. The City of Milford does have city ordinances for both scooters and bicycles and the State of Iowa has laws in place for them as well. You are not allowed to be on the sidewalks downtown or in city parks on these devices. You are required to operate them safely and to obey all traffic laws while operating them. In the areas of town that they can be operated on sidewalks, the operator must yield to pedestrians and vehicles. If the device does NOT have pedals, it is NOT considered an e-bike and is illegal to be operated other than on private property. Also, if the e-bike is more than 750W it is not considered a bicycle and can NOT be operated outside of public property.
We want everyone to have a safe and fun summer and hope parents look at the e-bikes and scooters their children have to assure they are legal and then discuss the rules/laws with their children.

On Wednesday, our Department was proud to participate in the Power of Choice program — a powerful mock crash demonstration highlighting the very real consequences of distracted and impaired driving.

This impactful two-day event included a simulated crash scene, courtroom proceedings, and a funeral service for students, all designed to show how a single decision behind the wheel can affect countless lives.

While these scenarios were staged, the tragedies they represent are all too real and happen every day in communities across the country. One poor choice behind the wheel can change lives forever.

Thank you to everyone who helped organize and participate in this important event, and to the students who took the time to watch, listen, and learn. We hope this demonstration serves as a reminder to always drive sober, stay focused, wear your seatbelt, and make smart choices behind the wheel.
