Impact analysis
No direct cost yet, but signage, education programs and enforcement will have costs once the law is adopted.
Pedestrians downtown, in parks and near schools, plus responsible riders who'd get clearer rules.
Riders who currently use sidewalks and young riders under 16 would face new restrictions and possible impoundment.
