The Geneva city council is inclined to allow the human-powered bicycle-based vehicles on a trial basis. It discussed the matter at committee of the whole meeting last week and is due to take a formal vote Monday.
Green Street Pedicabs of Naperville expressed interest in serving Geneva last summer, and staff began work on the city’s licensing laws. However, that firm has not asked for a license.
But another firm, Prairie State Pedicabs, is interested. David Bus, of Batavia Township, began the service last summer, and gave rides at Festival of the Vine before police stopped him because he did not have a permit
Under the proposed licensing law, pedicabs would not be allowed on state or county highways that run through Geneva, including Routes 25, 31 and 38, Kirk and Randall roads and Fabyan Parkway.
Naperville has allowed pedicabs for the last two years
