Thank you for sharing your comments about scooters in our city. We have heard from dozens of residents and visitors and are including your comments as we consider the many issues surrounding this new entry to our urban environment. We know that scooter safety (for riders, pedestrians and cars) and poor/dangerous placement of parked scooters are serious and urgent concerns for our residents, visitors and public safety personnel. We are currently reviewing best practices, emerging data (including safety and injury statistics) and resident experiences. We anticipate legislation detailing proposed new guidelines for scooters in our city will be considered by the end of the first quarter of 2019. As with all proposed legislation, opportunity for additional pubic input will be announced prior to the adoption of any new legislation. In the meantime, pedestrians are not expected to clear scooters from the sidewalks. You can contact the companies directly and they will dispatch an employee to correct the issue. Bird can by reached at 866-205-2442 and Lime can be reached at 888-546-3345.
