Conclusions 1
-
CL1The City of San Luis Obispo issued a policy twenty-four years ago based on liability concerns. Their main concern was to protect the motorcyclist from being injured by the exit gate in the parking structures. In interviews with the DDPW and the PSM there was no data presented that documented injuries or litigation resulting from a motorcyclist being struck by a gate because motorcycles are not allowed in the structures. The gates used in parking structures in San Luis Obispo are of a short design that may facilitate motorcycle entrance and exit. The City has been excluding motorcycles based on a policy that references the gate manufacturers’ recommendation to restrict motorcycles. The Grand Jury did not receive any data from the DDPW or the gate manufacturer that would support banning motorcycles for safety issues.
