ORDINANCE 5954
(General)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5, "PUBLIC PROTECTION," ADDING
PROTECTIONS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY BY PROHIBITING THE RIDING
OR STORAGE OF BICYCLES ON CERTAIN PUBLIC PROPERTY.
The City of Springfield, Oregon finds as follows:
1. The riding and storage of bicycles in certain areas of the
City Hall subject to frequent pedestrian use adversely affects the
health, safety and welfare of citizens by subjecting citizens to
hazards to walking, and to potential collision with bicycle riders.
2. The City has a substantial and compelling interest in
protecting the health, safety and welfare of its citizens.
3. The legal processes presently available do not adequately
control the storage and riding of bicycles in certain public areas of
City Hall nor its detrimental affects on the citizens of this city.
NOW THEREFORE the City of Springfield Ordains as follows:
There is hereby added to the Springfield Municipal Code, Chapter
5, "Public Protection Section 5.134 Prohibition of Bicycle Operation
or Storage within City Hall" as follows:
"Section 5.134 prohibition of Bicycle Operation or Storage
within City Hall.
1. Due to the present density and volume of pedestrian
traffic in the areas above the street level at City Hall, bicycle
operation, storage, or possession in that area presents a danger to

in the areas above street level at City Hall."
