Travel Green

So after Al Fresco a couple weeks ago, my mom and dad called me from a PediCab. A PediCab? In El Paso? They were very excited. My dad took a bunch of pictures and some video. They wanted me to make sure everyone knew about it.



The next week Charles Lauser, the owner of Green Leaf Pedicab, showed up at City Council to talk about their business venture and to ask Council to ammend our codes regarding Vehicles for Hire to include a provision to allow him and other pedicab services to be able to charge for their service. Green Leaf Pedicab is starting out in the Downtown area with tours and trips from here to there. My understanding is that other pedicab services are also applying to be able to provide this unique and fun service for El Pasoans and tourists to El Paso.

This week, we will be introducing an ordinance to allow for pedicabs to charge for their service. So if you are Downtown, look for them.
