Rocklin approves 281 apartments despite parking concerns. Here's what changed
A divided Rocklin City Council approved a 281-unit affordable housing project Tuesday, capping a contentious review process marked by neighborhood opposition, parking disputes and concerns about the city's limited authority under state housing laws. The council voted 3-2 to approve the Midas Apartments, with Mayor Bass and Councilmember Ken Broadway opposed. The approval included several changes to the development plan, including a restriction preventing non-emergency vehicles from exiting the property onto Midas Avenue. The project includes 278 affordable apartments for households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income, along with three manager units. Parking remained one of the biggest concerns throughout the review process. Under Rocklin’s parking standards, the development would normally require 578 spaces. The approved plan instead provides 401, with adjustments permitted as long as the total remains at least 397. The developer previously added 25 parking spaces after an August council meeting by reducing some planned landscaping.

E-bikes, e-scooters will be banned in one-tenth of Folsom parks. Here's when
E-bikes and other electric alternative modes of transportation will soon not be allowed in one-tenth of Folsom’s parks. And certain “reckless” behaviors, such as performing wheelies, will face an up-to $500 fine. The Folsom City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday that establishes new rules for “e-conveyances,” a broad category that included e-bikes, e-scooters, motorized bicycles, electric motorcycles — also called e-motos — and other electrically powered devices. This was the second reading of the ordinance, which has not changed since it was officially proposed in October . Thirty days following the council’s approval, riders will not be able to carry passengers on devices without a proper seat, swerve around traffic or perform “stunt and trick riding” such as wheelies or “acrobatic” tricks. The devices will also be banned from playgrounds and sports courts and fields, but would still be allowed on paved paths in parks under a reduced speed limit of 10 mph. Folsom has more than 50 miles of Class I paved trails — multiuse, off-street paths — some of which are within parks. Bike paths not in parks will have a speed limit of 15 mph. Motorized bicycles, which fall under the same definition as “moped” in the
