It looks like pedicabs will be heavily regulated and capped at 40.  Somewhere in the verbiage there is mention of a January 15 deadline for permits.

Regulations include construction:

Section 10.27 Condition and Construction of Pedicabs:
A. The pedicab must be a Delta-style construction, meaning the wheels are held
together by single steel frame and the distance between each wheel remains
constant while turning.

B. The passenger seating area of the pedicab must NOT be attached by means of a
trailer; i.e., a regular two-wheeled bicycle with a trailer attached to tow
passengers will not be allowed.

C. The certificate holder shall keep its equipment in a neat, clean, operable and safe
condition with state and federal laws, attractive to the general public.

D. The certificate holder shall identify each pedicab vehicle with the name of the
entity holding the operating authority and the unit number of each vehicle located
on the rear of the vehicles; such letters and numbers shall be at least two (2)
