Covington passed an ordinance on Tuesday allowing golf carts and other slow-moving vehicles on certain city streets.
The ordinance initially came before the commission in early April before being amended last week. It allows golf carts and other slow-moving vehicles to travel within certain boundaries on city streets with a speed limit of 20 miles per hour or below. Vehicles would not be allowed to travel on state routes, and drivers would need to conform to all safety, licensing, and insurance requirements.
City Attorney Frank Schultz discussed the areas where the vehicles would be allowed at Tuesday’s meeting, adding that one of the headings in the ordinance, as presented to the commission, contained an error.
“It’s everything north of 12th Street,” Schultz said, “basically extending west to Devou Park and then all the way east to the Licking River. That would be a boundary that this ordinance is contemplating.”
