A Message from Mayor Mullin

Hello Neighbors,

As Wayzata welcomes the vibrant energy of summer, our downtown will be bustling. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, the City is implementing several key changes.

Enhanced Police Presence

You’ll see an increased police presence downtown this season. We’re investing in additional resources to address common concerns like speeding, exhibition driving (noise) from vehicles and motorcycles, loitering, and parking violations. 

To emphasize these rules, we’re increasing fines for violations—including exhibition driving, biking on the Lake Walk, and public intoxication—and in some cases, a court appearance may be required.

Addressing E-Bike Safety

The global rise in e-bike use, especially among younger riders, has unfortunately led to an increase in related injuries.

In response, and with our community’s safety in mind, the City of Wayzata has passed a local ordinance (see page 2 of newsletter to learn more). We encourage all e-bike riders, regardless of age, to wear helmets and familiarize themselves with safe riding practices and local traffic laws, including speed limits. By working together, we can ensure a safe, pleasant, and enjoyable summer for everyone in Wayzata.
