Other: I biked downtown this afternoon for a trip to the public library. Upon arrival I discovered that every space in the bike racks surrounding the library were taken by Veo scooters. Attempting to move a scooter to park my bike was extremely difficult, as the scooter wheels immediately locked up, and scooters are simply to heavy to lift and move. Allowing a private scooter company to completely monopolize all available bike parking around the public library is not acceptable. Why is this allowed? Could the rules around scooters in the city be reviewed and this specific issue addressed? To clarify, I don't believe users had parked the scooters here. It seems as if they were deployed and staged in these spots. Thank you.
Staff submitted request to Veo to remove scooters from bike racks at the Monroe County Public Library. Resident provided with Veo contact information.
Thank you for your report. City staff have contacted Veo concerning this issue and have requested that the scooters be removed from the majority of the bike racks at the Monroe County Public Library. If you would like to contact Veo directly, they can be reached by email hello@veoride.com.
