River Falls Plan Commission 6/02/2026

The City of River Falls Plan Commission met on June 2, 2026, to discuss several agenda items including proposed ordinance amendments related to wetland protection and the regulation of electric bicycles and scooters. The commission reviewed amendments to the wetland ordinance to ensure compliance with state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regulations, expanding protections to all wetlands within city limits rather than just shoreline zones. The commission unanimously approved forwarding this amendment. Additionally, the commission considered an ordinance regulating electric bicycles and scooters, clarifying definitions, usage areas such as bike paths and sidewalks, and age restrictions. The ordinance was recommended favorably to the City Council. The meeting also included updates on a Safe Streets Implementation Grant application and a Housing Needs Analysis, with plans to increase public awareness of these initiatives. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
