City Targets Dirt Bikes on Public Land | Lincoln News

Hastings City Council just passed Ordinance 4838 to clamp down on off-road motor vehicles — including gas and electric dirt bikes — in public spaces, citing rising safety risks and chaotic use in parks and streets. Police say these machines are built for trails, not urban cruising, and the city’s moving to protect pedestrians and regular traffic. Leaders call it a “living document” open to refinement, possibly adopting tactics from Nebraska towns facing similar problems. The ordinance still needs final approval at the next council meeting, with only five members present for the initial vote.
