NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

NC schools identify $18 billion in construction needs. Can it be funded?

A $680 million bond referendum approved this week by Wake County voters represents just a small fraction of the school construction needs in the state. The K-12 Facilities Needs Survey presented Wednesday to the State Board of Education show that North Carolina school districts are reporting $18 billion in school construction needs over the next five years. While there’s some state and local funding available, state board members questioned whether there’s enough money to pay for the school projects. “When we see $18 billion for this five-year plan, I’m a very optimistic person, but I don’t see us cutting into that number and I think it’s going to go up a lot more during the next five years, particularly with these construction costs,” said Alan Duncan, vice chair of the state board. “So if we’re truly focused on giving a sound public education to our students, that includes a safe and nurturing learning environment.” Renovation needs rising for schools Under state law, school boards are required to report their school construction needs every five years to the state board. The last study done in 2021 showed $13.1 billion in needs over a five-year period. The new report showed a nearly
