Scooter blocking sidewalk, ADA violation
2 electric bikes. First completely blocked sidewalk. Now have fallen over and are partially in the street.
2 lime scooters are parked in our driveway
Bird scooters plopped down right in the middle of the sidewalk. East side of MCPL, on Grant.
The "dismount zones" are not working. They never did work, and now the scooters are an even bigger hazard. I see people riding them on the sidewalks around the square every day. If riders can't be bothered to care on their own, maybe we need some enforcement personnel out there to make them care. If we can have parking meter patrols, then surely we can have sidewalk patrols with authority to issue citations.
This has been the view from my office the past two days. Scooters scattered everywhere inhibiting pedestrians and a complete eyesore to Btown.
Scooter left in the verge

Follow-up Case #179422. "Good afternoon, sorry for the delay in response, I was unsure of who to send this type of case. Forwarding to Parking Services thank you" Two comments: 1) after several years and lots of scooter complaints (media, uReport, etc.) it's strange that it wasn't routine where to refer it 2) maybe that explains why not a single ticket has been for improperly parked scooters. Anyhow, I suggest that routine monitoring of sidewalks (downtown at least) be assigned to Parking Enforcement
