"As the first Bluffton pedicab business makes its way to the area, town council has decided it is time to lay down some ground rules.\n\nAn ordinance on the bike taxis will be read for the first time at the town council meeting Tuesday night, and it takes cues from other surrounding areas like Savannah.\n\nUnder the ordinance, the bike taxis would need to stay in the Old Town Bluffton area, and would need a permit through the Bluffton Police Department.\n\nPolice would do a background check on all owners and drivers, and would check to make sure the pedicabs are staying clean, and that they have&amp;nbsp;lights for&amp;nbsp;night time riding.\n\nAll owners would need to apply for a Bluffton business license.\n\nTown council would also like to require all pedicab owners and drivers to complete a course on Bluffton history and culture before hitting the streets, and they are trying to designate \"stopping zones\" along Calhoun Street.\n\nBluffton would be keeping with many of the same rules as Savannah, like no alcohol on board the bike taxis and no sidewalk riding.&amp;nbsp;\n\nThe ordinance will have its first reading Tuesday night, and the second reading is scheduled for October 11."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
