Attention ebike riders in Collier County, FL: New laws apply to you
Q: I heard that Collier County adopted laws that restrict where I can ride my electric bicycle. Is that true? J.S., Naples A: Yes, if you live in the unincorporated areas of Collier County where the county has traffic control jurisdiction. If you are not operating an electric bicycle in these areas, the Collier County ordinance does not affect you but there may be similar laws that do. For instance, the city of Marco Island adopted Ordinance No. 25-06 in July of this year, which applies only where the city of Marco Island has traffic control jurisdiction. Safety is a very important concern. In 2022, in Collier County, there were 172 collisions involving bicycles which resulted in 44 deaths and 164 injuries, as well as 190 accidents involving pedestrians, which resulted in five deaths and 122 injuries. In April 2025, Collier County adopted Ordinance No. 2025-22 in response to the number of accidents connected to the increased use of electric bicycles on public sidewalks in Collier County. The objective of this ordinance is to reduce the potential for crash events and the likelihood of serious bodily injury or death that results from conflicts between vehicular traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians using sidewalks, crosswalks, and intersections, and to promote safer pedestrian travel. Here are some of the provisions of the Collier County ordinance: No one under the age of 16 may operate a Class 3 electric bicycle. A Class 3 electric bicycle is defined as one that is equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and that ceases to provide assistance when the electric bicycle reaches the speed of 28 miles per hour. Operating an electric bicycle on sidewalks and shared pathways is generally permitted but there are restrictions. For example, the maximum speed at which a bicycle or electric bicycle may be operated on a sidewalk is limited to 15 miles per hour. In addition, electric bicycles producing more than 750 watts of power are banned from being operated on sidewalks, shared walkways/roadways, and bicycle paths. All operators of a Class 3 electric bicycle must use the bicycle lane when available. The exception is where the operator is an adult accompanying children under the age of 16 who are riding on the sidewalk, so that the children are not separated from the adult's supervision. The operator of a bicycle or an electric bicycle on a shared pathway that is not adjacent to a roadway, including those in parks and recreational areas, must yield the right of way to pedestrians, and when passing a pedestrian, must warn the pedestrian by some type of sound device before passing. The operator of an electric bicycle on either a sidewalk or in a bicycle lane must come to a full stop on approaching any school bus which displays a stop signal and may not pass the bus until the signal has been withdrawn. The operator of an electric bicycle or bicycle travelling in the opposite direction of traffic must come to a full stop before crossing an open intersection (one that does not have any traffic controls or signals) and must yield the right of way if a vehicle is already in the intersection. The foregoing is a summary only. Whether you ride a bicycle or an electric bicycle, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the laws that apply to you. Q: I was given permission to put a patio on my lanai. There is no shade, and the heat is so intense at times that I can't sit outside, so I bought an umbrella to create some shade. The board said that I can't have an umbrella on my lanai because it blocks everybody's view. The view is to my lanai and no one else is affected. Can they do this? A.S., Bonita Springs A: Maybe, depending on what your governing documents say. Many communities have provisions in their governing documents or rules prohibiting placing anything like an umbrella on a lanai which would be visible from common areas or adjacent parcels. In addition, you don't say whether your association is a homeowners' association (HOA), which is governed by Chapter 720, Florida Statutes, or a condominium association, which is governed by Chapter 718, Florida Statutes. The distinction is important. Recent changes to Section 720.3045, Florida Statutes, would prohibit a HOA from enforcing any provision in its governing documents or rules which would restrict an owner from 'installing, displaying, or storing any items on a parcel which are not visible from the parcel's frontage or an adjacent parcel, an adjacent common area, or a community golf course, including, but not limited to, artificial turf, boats, flags, vegetable gardens, clotheslines, and recreational vehicles.' The same prohibition was not included in Chapter 718. If you live in a condominium, the lanai may be a limited common element, which may mean there are enforceable restrictions on what may be placed there. Regardless, restrictions contained in any community's governing documents or rules must be reasonable and not violate any state laws or public policy. We suggest that you consult an attorney to determine whether the association where you live can enforce such restrictions.

Dale-Roy families: Here's how to apply for free school meals
Dale-Roy School announced its policy for free and reduced-price meals for the 2025-2026 school year. The program assists students who are unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast, After School Care Snack or Special Milk Programs, according to a community announcement. The State of Ohio budget for the school year includes funding to cover the cost of reduced meals for breakfast and lunch. The provision allows schools to provide no-cost meals to students eligible for reduced-price meals. Eligibility will be determined using the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Children from families with annual incomes at or below these guidelines are eligible for free and reduced-price meals or free milk if the school participates in the Special Milk Program. Application process for free and reduced-price meals Application forms will be distributed to households in a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for benefits, households must complete an application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in each school. Households receiving Special Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits (SNAP) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child must provide the child's name, the SNAP or OWF case number and the signature of an adult household member on the application. Households not receiving SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household members, the last four digits of the Social Security Number of the adult signing the application or state 'none' if the adult does not have a Social Security Number, the amount and source of income received by each household member and the signature of an adult household member. Confidentiality and notification The information provided on the application is confidential and will only be used to determine eligibility. Schools or other officials may verify the information at any time during the school year. Households will be notified of the approval or denial of benefits. Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits regardless of household income. Applications can be submitted at any time during the school year. If a household's size increases or income decreases, the family should contact the school to file a new application, which may make the children eligible for free or reduced-price benefits. Free health care Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for free health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio's Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. The programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information also can be found at Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services.
