🚴♀️ E-Bikes Are Growing in Popularity – Ride Smart, Ride Safe! 🚴♂️
E-bikes can be a fun, efficient way to get around town, but safety should always come first.
✅ Wear a helmet every ride.
✅ Obey all traffic signs and signals.
✅ Yield to pedestrians on sidewalks and shared-use paths.
✅ Use lights and reflective gear when riding at night.
✅ Stay alert and avoid distractions such as phones or headphones.
‼️Remember: In Wisconsin, e-bikes are generally treated the same as traditional bicycles, which means riders have the same rights and responsibilities on the road.
Let's work together to keep our streets, sidewalks, and trails safe for everyone.

Yesterday’s groundbreaking may have taken place under drizzly skies, but the sunshine was still shining down on an exciting new chapter for Whitewater.
This new infill housing development will bring 14 owner-occupied, single-family homes to our community, helping address the growing need for quality housing in the City of Whitewater.
“This project is about more than building houses,” said Tim Vandeville Jr. of Stonehaven Development. “It’s about creating a path to homeownership for working families and showing that communities can be proactive and creative when solving the housing shortage. We’re grateful for the City of Whitewater’s partnership and excited to get started.”
We look forward to watching this development take shape and welcoming new homeowners to our community.
