• Granby Bans E-Bikes From Town Parks (patch.com) — Granby officials have banned e-bikes from all town parks, citing safety concerns for pedestrians on walking paths and around busy recreation areas like Salmon Brook Park and Ahrens Park. Riders must now leave e-bikes at designated spots near park entrances, and violations of the updated park rules could lead to removal from the parks and fines of up to $250.
