Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

Dear Whom it may concern, I realized that there are several kids (middle schoolers or six-graders) are driving crazy with dirt e-motorbike on the streets and park trails. These motor-bike's speeds are definitely over 30 mph sometimes, and I am sure that these kids doesn't have driver's licenses. They don't show any respect on the traffic rule because they don't know the rules. Once I see that one kid drove this motorbike at the school zone (Childs elementary school) around 3:50 pm when school kids are getting out. They are not just racing but do some stunt in front of all kids showing off. I see many times that they are literally racing on the Jackson Creek trail shouting "get out of the way" to pedestrians. I reported this several times to 911, but nothing changes. Please take some actions (impose fines and warnings to their parents) before somebody dies or serious hurt. It is just a matter of time. Please take this seriously and immediate actions. I can provide videos if the police wants to identify these kids. PLEASE.

Good evening. There has been a notable increase in the use of electric bikes at Olcott Park since this summer. Young people (including some children) are riding their electric bikes on the park pathways, grass, and streets. They are scaring pedestrians and their pets. They are going at high speeds (20 mph plus), doing wheelies, and driving while looking at their cell phones. It would be helpful to increase patrols and/or provide guidance to residents explaining how and where these bikes can be used. Given children are involved, safety is a primary concern. Thank you for addressing this.
